Bayern Munich's sporting board member Max Eberl has halted talks with AC Milan's Rafael Leão, deeming the interest 'cold'. Initial reports of a €100m price tag for the winger are deemed inaccurate; Milan may negotiate around €70m, but Eberl is pivoting towards Nico Williams and Bradley Barcola. Williams, with a €60m release clause, is Eberl's top target, yet his salary expectations pose a challenge. Before any acquisitions, Eberl must address salary issues by selling players like Kingsley Coman and possibly allowing Leroy Sané to leave.
After initial talks, Max Eberl stopped discussions with Rafael Leão's camp, leaving the trail leading to the Portuguese winger 'cold'. Bayern Munich is now setting its sights on alternatives.
Max Eberl's absolute priority is Nico Williams, who has a €60m release clause. However, his salary demands will make the overall package costly for Bayern Munich.
Eberl must first reduce the club’s salary burden by possibly selling Kingsley Coman or allowing Leroy Sané's contract to expire before pursuing new signings.
While the reports in Italy indicated a €100m price tag for Leão, the accepted negotiation figure from AC Milan is much closer to €70m, leaving Bayern uninterested.
