Bayern Munich has officially dismissed speculation linking them with a move for Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah, even as the Egyptian forward continues to be surrounded by uncertainty regarding his future at Anfield.
The statement came directly from Bayern’s Sporting Director, Max Eberl, who emphasized that the German champions have no intention of bringing Salah to the Allianz Arena. According to Eberl, Bayern is fully satisfied with the development of their rising talent, Lennart Karl, making the idea of signing a high-profile forward like Salah unnecessary at this stage.
Speaking after Bayern’s Champions League victory against Sporting CP, Eberl decisively shut down the transfer talk, noting that Salah’s arrival would not align with the club’s long-term plan.
“Salah? With Lennart Karl, we already have an extraordinary talent. Putting someone above him right now simply doesn’t make sense,” Eberl said.
Salah’s Situation at Liverpool Sparks Fresh Debate
Rumors surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future intensified following Liverpool’s dramatic 3–3 draw against Leeds United. In that match, Salah started on the bench for the third consecutive game, fueling speculation that his relationship with manager Arne Slot has grown tense.
After the match, Salah openly expressed frustration toward Slot and parts of Liverpool’s management — a rare public criticism that immediately triggered discussions among fans, pundits, and the media.
The 33-year-old’s contract situation, combined with his diminishing role in Slot’s tactical setup, has further contributed to the uncertainty. Reports of interest from clubs outside England, including teams in Saudi Arabia and Spain, continue to surface. However, Bayern Munich is not one of them.
Bayern Munich Stays Grounded: “Our Squad Is Already Strong”
Max Eberl acknowledged that he had heard Salah’s comments, but made it clear that the Egyptian star’s relationship with Liverpool has no relevance to Bayern’s transfer strategy.
“I followed some of his statements, but not in detail. What happens next — honestly — is not my concern,” Eberl explained.
Eberl stressed that Bayern Munich is already in an excellent place in terms of squad depth and balance. The team, he said, does not require major additions, especially in the attacking department where Karl, Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sané, and Harry Kane continue to shine.
“Our team is extremely homogeneous, exciting, and well-balanced. Bringing in a new player, especially a high-profile one, could disrupt the harmony we’ve built. Roles within the squad are very clear and stable at the moment,” he added.
Why Bayern Won’t Enter the Salah Transfer Race
Several key reasons support Bayern’s stance:
1. Commitment to Youth Development
Lennart Karl, one of the brightest young prospects in Germany, has reportedly made a strong impression on the Bayern coaching staff. The club views him as a long-term asset who could eventually become a central figure in their attack.
Signing Salah, a global superstar with guaranteed starting demands, could hinder Karl’s growth.
2. Maintaining Dressing Room Stability
Eberl stressed the importance of team chemistry. With Thomas Tuchel’s squad finally achieving a balanced dynamic, Bayern does not want to risk any internal disruption.
Top-tier arrivals often require guaranteed minutes and specific tactical adjustments — a luxury Bayern does not feel obligated to offer.
3. Financial Considerations
Although not explicitly stated by Eberl, acquiring Salah would require a massive wage package, potentially breaking Bayern’s traditionally strict salary structure. The club prefers maintaining financial stability rather than entering bidding wars typical of Premier League or Saudi Pro League teams.
What This Means for Salah Going Forward
With Bayern officially out of the race, Mohamed Salah’s future remains firmly tied to decisions made by Liverpool and the player himself. Options that may shape his next step include:
- Resolving his dispute with Arne Slot and returning to his place as a key starter at Liverpool.
- Considering a move abroad, particularly to Saudi Arabia where he remains a priority target.
- Exploring opportunities in other European leagues, although few clubs have both the financial capacity and tactical need for a player of his profile.
For now, however, Bayern Munich has made it clear: the Bundesliga champions will not be the next destination for the Egyptian King.
Bayern Focused on Stability, Not Big-Name Transfers
As the January 2026 transfer window approaches, Bayern appears committed to maintaining the squad’s current structure rather than seeking marquee signings. With strong performances across domestic and European competitions, the club sees no pressing need for dramatic changes.
Their stance also sends a message: Bayern Munich continues to prioritize long-term planning, internal development, and squad harmony over short-term splashes in the transfer market.
And for Mohamed Salah, the message is equally clear — if he is to leave Liverpool, the Allianz Arena will not be his next stop.
