De Sky: Bayern’s transfer process and scouting department have recently undergone large-scale adjustments

October 28 According to Sky Sports Germany, Bayern’s transfer and scouting departments have recently made large-scale adjustments.

Niels Schmattke is a key figure behind the scenes. Schmatek will join in October 2024 as director of scouting and report to Freund. Schmatek led a "big shakeup at the XXL level", firing 9 to 10 scouts and bringing in 8 new ones. The radical step caused "resistance" internally, with Schmattke said to be "feared by employees" for his "hard line".

The report disclosed Bayern's new transfer process

1. Schmatek's team conducted an inspection and "first contact" with the agent

2. Eberle and Freund made the decision

3. Eberl notified the supervisory board

4. The supervisory board "gave the green light" within the financial framework

5. Eberle and CEO Drayson conducted direct negotiations with the opposing club.

Bayern's supervisory board was impressed by the "in-depth analysis and dossier" submitted by Eberl and Freund. However, Hoeness is still dissatisfied with the status quo. Hoeness publicly pointed out that many negotiations this summer (such as Luis Dias and Nicolas Jackson) "dragged on for too long". He hopes that future lineup planning can be completed "earlier" to avoid confusion before the "deadline".
