Eberl also confirmed that former Mainz and Schalke sporting director Rouven Schröder is on the verge of joining his front-office team.
“In the final analysis, I must try and bring the best players to Leipzig,” Eberl told German broadcaster DAZN ahead of Friday night’s kickoff, “and if the best player capable of replacing Konny Laimer plays in Salzburg, then I will continue to look around there.”
“I said something about an opponent once upon a time,” Eberl noted, “Seven years later, the footballing world has been turned on its head. Salzburg is a club at which we look for players. We don’t really have an advantage. Just like any club, we will try to bring the best players to our team.”
When Eberl referred to “not having an advantage”, he clearly wished to emphasize that other clubs pluck players and coaches away from Salzburg too. Though the current RB chief personnel executive didn’t mention any specific names, one should note that Borussia Dortmund recruited the likes of Erling Haaland and Kari Adeyemi away from Salzburg.
“If everything works out as planned, then we’ll have a great sporting manager to further strengthen the administrative team,” Eberl said, “Rouven is naturally a consummate professional.”
