Diaz is too old? Eber: Young is just one of the factors, what is important is now

Hupu, August 4th, Bayern Munich invested more than 70 million euros to sign Luis Dias - a huge sum of money for a player who will turn 29 early next year. However, sports director Max Ebert disagreed with this.

"Our goal has to be to make the team's age structure reasonable, and ultimately, we only care about having strength," Ebert clarified in an interview with "Kickers".

The sports director added: "What matters is today, not in the next few years. If you can win the championship, then the transfer fee is no longer so important."

Eber further emphasized that in principle, the age of a player "is only one of the 10 to 15 factors affecting the transfer."

Bayern Munich is full of confidence in Diaz. "He has everything we need," Eber said enthusiastically. "We need speed, goals, assists, one-on-one ability, and a high degree of reliability, which means he needs as many opportunities as possible."

Diaz showed his strength in his debut in Munich. In a friendly against Lyon 2-1, the Colombian player came off the bench after halftime and won a penalty before Michael Oris scored his first goal.
