Florian Wirtz will probably switch from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool FC. Record national player Lothar Matthäus can understand why the DFB star is drawn to the Reds and not to Bayern.
“Liverpool absolutely wanted Florian Wirtz, and coach Arne Slot showed him how important he will be for his team,” wrote Matthew in his “Sky” column.
In addition, Wirtz is a perfect addition to the Liverpool FC. “The Reds have a six, an eighth, but the ten is somehow missing. It fits perfectly there, but Bavaria should have changed his system for him,” said the 1990 world champion.
According to Matthew, Wirtz canceled FC Bayern does not have any economic reasons. “Liverpool’s offer may be just more attractive for him,” he said.
In the Premier League, the 22 -year -old offensive player in the best league in the world and every week against strong competitors.
“FC Bayern has mostly dominated in Germany in recent years. From time to time there was a duel, but no three or four fights as in England,” noted Matthew.
Matthäus speaks for Sané extension
In his column, Matthäus also commented on squad planning at FC Bayern.
The ex-professional suggested an extension with Leroy Sané to the German record champion: “Sané often showed in the past season that it is important. One should try to agree with him.”
In Kingsley Coman, Matthäus sees a candidate for sales instead. “I believe that FC Bayern needs a breath of fresh air in this position,” he emphasized and called Rafael Leao from AC Milan a suitable candidate.
“Rafael Leao would be a good solution. The Portuguese international mostly came across the left wing with Milan, but can also play center forward, which would be important, because Bayern needs a back-up for Kane if it takes a break,” wrote Matthäus.
So far, Kane has hardly had to struggle with injury problems, “but he doesn’t get younger and the requirements will be even bigger with the club World Cup this summer and the World Cup next year. FC Bayern should be prepared for this,” said Matthew.
Leao was recently brought into conversation by “Sky” at the Munich team.
