In order to manage a possible record -proof amount for Wirtz, Bayern would even have been willing to borrow money in the credit department of the banks. But only for this one special exception, as Dreesen confirmed. “We have had to assert ourselves on an international parquet against clubs for many years that have other financial means than we have,” he said to T-Online, making it clear: “But FC Bayern will always be faithful to its principles: We only spend what we generate ourselves. We do not let us dissuade us.” With their attitude in the Woltemade poker, Bayern confirmed that.

Dreesen contradicted the impression that the cancellation of potential transfer candidates expresses that the record champion has now lost his former standing in international football. “FC Bayern has a tremendous strength and worldwide radiance through his fans, his history and his position, which he has developed in recent decades,” he said. “We will be one of the absolute top clubs in Europe in the coming years.” The first proof is to be provided on Saturday evening. For now, however, against and not with Woltemade.
