Lothar Matthäus believes that after Thomas Müller’s departure, a megatransfer from Florian Wirtz is now announcing himself to FC Bayern. It is even without alternative for him.
Sky expert Lothar Matthäus believes that Thomas Müller said goodbye to Bayer Leverkusens Florian Wirtz to FC Bayern. “Uli Hoeneß wants that. And Uli Hoeneß actually fulfills all the wishes at FC Bayern,” Matthäus said on Thursday afternoon at a Sky appointment in front of Bayern’s classic Bayern against Dortmund (6.30 p.m. at Sky) on T-online demand.
According to T-Online information, the record champion is now working specifically on the Megatransfer from Wirtz to Munich and would like to hire the international this summer. Such a deal would cost the Munich transfer to a transfer of well over 100 million euros, allegedly Leverkusen would even charge 140 million euros. Matthäus suspects that the farewell to Müller may also be related to the mega transfer that was an initiating.
“When Wirtz and Musiala are there, you don’t need it anymore. Where should Müller play? Wirtz and Musiala have been ranking a bit in terms of sport,” said the record national player. “Uli Hoeneß has been in contact with the Wirtz family for a long time. It’s no secret.” As is well known, Wirtz still has a contract valid until 2027, which Leverkusen would even like to expand. “If Florian is not extended, I think Bayern has great chances to sign him this summer,” said Matthew.
He advised Wirtz: “This summer I would definitely not go abroad in his place because I also see the 2026 World Cup there,” he said. In other possible goals such as Manchester City or Real Madrid, the factor of a new language and another environment would finally be added abroad, which Wirtz would have to change in the season in front of the World Cup. That is why Matthew comes to the conclusion: “If he changes this summer, only FC Bayern Munich is actually an option.”
After the 1: 2 in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League against Inter Milan, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen was once again addressed on the Wirtz topic. When asked whether he could say anything about the state of negotiation with the Leverkusen star, the Bayern boss replied: “No!” Why not? “Because I don’t want to.” In any case, he left a lot of interpretation and possible room for negotiation.
