Bayern Munich’s sporting director Max Eberl revealed the club’s reasoning behind Matthijs de Ligt’s departure, despite a fan petition to keep him. Speaking to Sport1, Eberl explained, “We had to make tough decisions.
While de Ligt is a fantastic player, Upamecano and Kim provide the high-press defense we need.”
When a lucrative offer came in for de Ligt, the club made the call: “It wasn’t easy, but it felt right. Sometimes, strategic decisions have to be made for the squad’s balance.”
