FC Bayern is walking between worlds these days. He has been doing a training camp at Tegernsee since the weekend. The team stays for six days in the “Überfahrt” hotel in Rottach-Egern and trains on the premises of the small club around the corner, in “Uli Hoeneß’s field”, as many say.
The honorary president lives in a villa nearby, on Saturday beaming people in costume greeted the team when they arrived, the club calls it “training camp at home”. Before the mountain panorama, there are public training sessions and a test match. Living close to the fans, that’s how Hoeneß sees it. FC Bayern as a family, the home-bound club.
In a week, Bayern will be heading to Asia. A PR tour with tests against Manchester City and Liverpool FC in Japan and Singapore. FC Bayern as a global player, the commercial and international club.
Hoeneß knows that both are necessary. And the most important thing is sporting success. After a chaotic season with only one title and the separation of CEO Oliver Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, a lot has to change. Above all, a world-class striker should come back. Bayern found him in Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane.
“Then we’ll get him”
Saturday evening after training at Tegernsee, Hoeneß said of Kane: “He clearly signaled that his decision was made. And if she stays, then we’ll get him. Then Tottenham will have to “buckle”.

The 29-year-old England captain could become the king’s signing for the new season. Hoeneß did not name a pain threshold for the shopping spree in London. You have to get Tottenham boss Daniel Levy “first to name a number,” said Hoeneß.
“He plays for time, is a savvy, super professional. I appreciate him very much. On the other hand, we are not people who have been doing this since yesterday. ”If Kane really wants to go to Bayern, then Tottenham will accept an offer from Bayern.

The people of Munich are said to have recently offered 80 million euros plus bonus payments. It could be a hundred million euro deal. In a recent interview, the new Chief Financial Officer, Michael Diederich, made it clear that Bayern might be willing to pay that much.
Hoeneß’s public statements at this stage of Kane poker are strategy. He probably wants to put pressure on Tottenham. Kane is currently training with the club on a Pacific tour, Tottenham and plays in Australia, among other places.
Transfer target Kane – These would be the possible consequences for Bayern’s offensive stars
Negotiations are still ongoing, but FC Bayern are going all out for Harry Kane. Should the English striker actually sign on at Säbener Straße, this would have far-reaching consequences for the record champions’ current offensive staff.
Hoeneß is part of the “Sports Committee”. The seven-person club committee, which also includes coach Thomas Tuchel, will be responsible for the transfers as long as no successor has been found for the sports director Salihamidzic, who was ousted at the end of May. The group is also talking a lot about departures these days.
Sadio Mané is set to leave the club. The offensive star signed by Salihamidzic from Liverpool FC a year ago disappointed. Mané is said to earn around 22 million euros a year in Munich. Clubs from Saudi Arabia are interested in him, Bayern have given his agents permission to negotiate with other clubs in general.
Tuchel plant ohne Mané
Tuchel’s message at a press conference in Rottach-Egern on Saturday afternoon was clear: Mané plays no role in his plans. “Basically, Sadio played an unsatisfactory season and fell short of expectations. The competitive situation is extremely high for him,” emphasized the coach. “Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry are also in the position I see him in.”
It is a constellation “that makes it very difficult for Sadio. The player knows that too. I know his opinion, he knows my opinion and that of the club.” Tuchel also said: “He has a contract and wants to stay. And we respect that too. But it’s only the first day of training and a lot can happen in football.”

The transfer period ends on September 1st. Al-Nassr FC are said to be interested in Mané, meaning the Senegalese could join superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in the future. For a fee of between 20 and 30 million euros, Bayern would let Mané go immediately.
Tuchel was also very clear about Leon Goretzka. When asked whether the national player would still be a Bayern player after the end of the transfer period, the coach said: “It’s still too early in the transfer period to make a definitive statement.”
No player can be sure that he will still be a Bayern player on September 1st. Goretzka experienced an “unsatisfactory end to the season”, said Tuchel: “Not only in the last game, but in the last phase. For themselves and for us too.”

Tuchel said the midfielder was “someone we expect a lot from, simply because of his status, his contract, his age”, who should take responsibility and the team. “There’s a lot of room for improvement. And our job is to help him do that.”
However, situations could always arise during the transfer period, as with Lucas Hernández, where players have other plans. I haven’t heard that from Leon, but it’s just the beginning of preparation.” Defender Hernández recently moved to Paris St. Germain. Before Tuchel’s statements, it was said that Goretzka wanted to stay at Bayern. The 28-year-old’s contract with the champions is valid until June 30, 2026.

A few hours later, Hoeneß responded to Tuchel’s statement in the Goretzka case. “It’s clear that FC Bayern have to be more disciplined and perform better than in the last six months – everyone needs to know that. The number of good players will clearly increase.”
The Honorary President also said: “I assume that everyone will get this attitude now. If you look at the whole development of German football since the World Cup until today, including Bayern Munich, then things like tackling strength, like the very last game, have suffered a lot in my opinion.

Not every team like that of Champions League winners Manchester City can “solve everything in a playful way,” says Hoeneß. “In my opinion, the one-on-one training will be very important. We have to play German football again and both the German national team for the European Championship and FC Bayern will have to do their part.”
Tuchel is also focusing on more physicality in the new season, which begins for the Munich team after the Supercup duel against RB Leipzig in Munich on August 18 at Werder Bremen. “We sometimes lacked a bit of robustness and physical stability. That’s why it’s also part of the profile of the players we’re looking for,” said the coach.
Hoeneß: No pressure on Neuer
He will most likely have to do without Manuel Neuer at the season opener in Bremen. The captain and goalkeeper cannot train with the team after a long injury break and will not be traveling to Asia. “What we’re not allowed to do is that we put Manuel under pressure,” said Hoeneß.
Neither by naming a time for a comeback, nor by buying an “expensive goalkeeper”. “The injury wasn’t easy. It’s okay that there’s always a setback,” said Hoeneß. “It’s all about him. If he’s fine, we’re fine.” The goal is for the 37-year-old Neuer to remain number one.

Neuer has been missing since breaking his lower leg in December. With Yann Sommer you will talk about all facets and perspectives, said Hoeneß about the new replacement committed last winter, who is said to be connected to Inter Milan.
Goalkeeper Alexander Nübel, on the other hand, can probably leave the club, according to Hoeneß: “We accepted his decision and if he finds a club, he can go.” Among other things, VfB Stuttgart has expressed an interest in Nübel.
