Max Eberl and Christoph Freund reached out to Fali Ramadani in recent hours, hoping to explore the possibility of bringing Federico Chiesa to Bayern Munich.
The move was inspired by Jan-Christian Dreesen, who had leaned on his connection from the Luis Díaz negotiations with Richard Hughes to discreetly enquire whether Liverpool might consider a loan. Liverpool did not dismiss the suggestion outright, and Bayern, misreading hesitation for opportunity, convinced themselves there was a path forward.
The response they received could not have been more decisive. Ramadani reiterated the same message he had already given to Liverpool weeks earlier, that Chiesa’s commitment to Anfield is total and unwavering. There would be no negotiations, no second thoughts, no hesitation. Chiesa himself went so far as to refuse any direct conversation with Eberl, Freund or Vincent Kompany, leaving Bayern’s proposal unheard and swiftly discarded.
For Bayern, this was another rejection, and internally it is viewed as an especially painful one given the circumstances. The club is now struggling to convince players who are not even regular starters at their current sides, a reality that has become difficult to ignore inside Säbener Straße. Chiesa, who has only had limited minutes at Liverpool, still showed no interest whatsoever, with his agent Fali Ramadani making the refusal clear from the outset.
Those involved admit it was more than just a simple no, it was a quiet humiliation, a stark reminder that Bayern’s name no longer carries the same power to attract, not even when the target is a player fighting for game time elsewhere.
