(Photo by Harry Langer/DeFodi Images/DeFodi via Getty Images) | DeFodi Images via Getty ImagesBild backs up Sport1 reporting on Ibrahimovi(Bild via @iMiaSanMia)Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl taking to the media to inform Arijon Ibrahimovi that he is available to be sold, without ensuring that the player was fully aware of what was going on, is a bad look for the club and also a legitimate story per Bild.Sport1 broke the initial story, but now it seems as if the heat between the two sides is real:Max Eberls recent statements about Arijon Ibrahimovi caused a big lack of understanding on the players camp. Eberls sudden willingness to let Ibrahimovi go came as a huge surprise to the player. After all, the club extended Ibrahimovis contract this summer, announced in the public press release that he will be permanently included in the first team rotation this season, and the player was promised the role of Luis Daz backup after a conversation with Vincent Kompany. The fact that the management has already changed their minds has come as a surprise to the players camp. In addition to that, Eberls public comments on the matter are especially what bothered Ibrahimovi and his entourage.Naturally, this has led to the emergence of new rumors, including one linking the young attacker to Werder Bremen. However, for that kind of move to go down, Werder Bremen would have to shed some its own roster weight, per Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia):Max Eberls recent statements about Arijon Ibrahimovi caused a big lack of understanding on the players camp.

The fact that the management has already changed their minds has come as a surprise to the players camp. In addition to that, Eberls public comments on the matter are especially what bothered Ibrahimovi and his entourage.This has been a very pro-Eberl space for a while, but this was a big misstep by him. The decision to move on from Ibrahimovi is fine, but to go to the media before discussing it with the player blindsiding him is bush league. It would not be fair to criticize players like Ryan Gravenberch for taking their gripes to the media without criticizing Eberl for dropping delicate news like a bomb publicly.No matter what happens with Ibrahimovi, Bayern Munich should try and smooth this out. No, the club does not have to, but it would be the right thing to do either way even if the attacker ultimately lands on Werder Bremen. Grealish has three suitors (ESPN)Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish reportedly has three clubs interested in him:Manchester City attacking midfielder Jack Grealish is on the radar of Everton, Aston Villa, and Sunderland, Fabrizio Romano reports. The 30-year-old is ready to decide his future over the next few days as his representatives continue talks with multiple Premier League clubs, though there is nothing concrete with Sunderland despite reports of a recent push to sign him on loan.Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany is a massive fan of Jack Grealishcould it happen? Almost assuredly, the answer would be no, but there could be a spot open (see the Ibrahimovi note above). Kova leaves no questions with striker hierarchy (Sky Germanys Patrick Berger)Niko Kova is not leaving any doubts about who his teams No. 1 striker is: Niko Kovac on Fabio Silva: He knows that Serhou Guirassy is striker number 1. He is the challenger and Serhou is the 1.On a possible new signing before #DeadlineDay, the #BVB coach says: We have 25 outfield players and currently dont need a new one. @SkySportDEKova is brutally blunt, but at least he is honest. Guirassy rewarded Kova with a goal in the 9th minute of BVBs 2-0 win over Hamburger SV. United still eyeing Raum? (Ekrem Konur)Manchester United is still interested in RB Leipzig left-back David Raum, though the Red Devils are reluctant to make a big financial splash: #ManchesterUnited David Raum is on Manchester Uniteds shortlist for left-back. Detail Club hesitant to spend big. Alternative Could turn to younger candidate.This seems kind of odd. Raum was a stud last season for Die Roten Bullen, but a late season injury bled into the World Cup and all of sudden it seems as if Raum is not as well-regarded as he was just a few months ago. Larsson talking to CPFC, Fulham (Sky Germanys Florian Plettenberg)Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson is perpetually in the transfer market, and could be closing in a on deal to move to the Premier League: EXCL | Hugo Larsson is now in London for direct negotiations with two clubs.One of them: Crystal Palace.With permission from Eintracht Frankfurt, who are demanding around 25m for the 22 y/o midfielder. #SGE @SkySportDE The other club: Fulham. Hugo Larsson is expected to return to team training with Eintracht Frankfurt tomorrow.Larsson is a good player, but has he made the leap to great yet? It does not seem that way, which explains why the fee seems to be considerably less than he would have fetched on the market a year or two ago.Official: Aston Villa inks Jackson (Aston Villa)A year ago, Chelsea was hemming and hawing about potentially sending Nicolas Jackson to Bayern Munich on loan. While that was a solid move for Chelsea, it was able to parlay Jacksons showing in Germany into a nice sale of the player to Aston Villa (who has been very busy in the last week with transfers):Reunited. This time in claret & blue.Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea pic.twitter.com/s2P8j6uKJa Aston Villa (@AstonVilla) August 28, 2026If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor Join the conversation!Sign up for a user accountand get:Comment on articles, community postsRec comments, community postsNew, improved notifications system!Fewer adsCreatecommunity posts
