Bayern Munich’s sports director Max Eberl reacted unexpectedly to the speculation about a trip to England by wish player Florian Wirtz (22). The German record champions would like to hire the professional of Bayer 04 Leverkusen this summer or 2026 at the latest. “What should I say?” Said Eberl about the national player’s travel photos this week. “Florian Wirtz is free to visit friends in Liverpool or Manchester or wherever. Or in Madrid.”

Eberl himself indirectly pointed out Real Madrid as a possible transfer competitor alongside Manchester City and Liverpool FC. “When Florian Wirtz takes the trip with his family, then they will have their reason. Of course we will be confronted with it because it is said that Florian Wirtz will come to Bayern Munich,” said Eberl before the game of Bavaria on Saturday (3:30 p.m.) at TSG Hoffenheim.
“We have to let all the speculations pass by. We do the work, we know the facts. The art is to do its business in peace,” says Eberl. This is “not easy”, especially in this extraordinary summer with the club World Cup (June 15th to July 13th), the simultaneous transfer phase and on June 30th.

Bayern also strive to ensure that the deflig with the AS Monaco is still the defender Eric dier at the club World Cup, although possibly only until the current contract at the end of June. “Of course we want to have Eric with us,” confirmed Eberl.
The same topic arises with attacker Leroy Sané, whose contract with the record champions also expires on June 30th. After a change of consultation, the 29-year-old did not accept the previously negotiated offer for an extension by 2028. “Leroy Sané and his agency know exactly what our wish is. You know exactly the prerequisites. And we hope that you will then choose us.”
A comeback from Jamal Musiala at the Nations League final tournament before the club World Cup in the USA is seen critically at Bayern. “What is really the best? You don’t want to burn Jamal either,” said Eberl. The 22 -year -old offensive player suffered a muscle bundle tear in his thigh in early April. Eberl referred to the upcoming club World Cup immediately after the National League finals (June June 8th). “And then the new season comes. And then the World Cup 2026 comes. There is a lot to discuss and clarify.”
Company: FC Bayern had no peace between the games
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany meanwhile rejected the allegation of a possible distortion of competition in the relegation battle due to a trip to the team of a part of the team. He warned into objectivity. “What’s the name of the word?” The Belgian first asked in the press conference before the last game of the season in the press conference. “It’s about Hoffenheim and Heidenheim,” Kompany remarked. The Bayern opponent goes as a table-15. With three points ahead and a goal difference on the Heidenheimer, which stands on the relegation place 16, the season finale.
Company recalled that Bayern had practically no time to prepare before their guest performance in Heidenheim four weeks after the bitter Champions League-off at Inter Milan. Nevertheless, Kane and Co. won 4-0. “We had no peace between the games at all. And now we have the whole week to prepare with a lot of time. We had a good week. So you should think about the distortion of competition,” argued Kompany. The Ibiza trip in Bayern professionals’ free time ended on Tuesday morning. The trainer showed understanding that she was publicly discussed and criticized. And of course Kompany also hopes for a positive sporting reaction against the Hoffenheimers: “We have become masters with a lot of hard work. And we must not give it any opponent that they have a good afternoon against us.”
The master celebrations at Bayern continue after the Hoffenheim game. There is an internal club celebration in Munich on Saturday evening. And on Sunday (from 1:30 p.m.), the championship team will be presented with the women’s team, which became German champion and cup winner this season, the fans at the town hall balcony on the Munich Marienplatz.
