Bayern Munich director of sport Max Eberl has taken a dig at Chelsea in relation to Chelsea’s large squad.

When asked about Bayern selling players, Eberl took a dig at Chelsea’s transfer strategy.

Eberl was asked about Bayern Munich’s sale of Matthijs de Ligt, and while answering the question he aimed a dig at Chelsea.

“As a club, you also have to bring in money somewhere,” said the Bayern director.

“You can go through the season like Chelsea with 44 players, but that becomes difficult for the coach to manage.

“Then you have to steal jersey numbers, but we don’t do that at FC Bayern.”
