Will Florian Wirtz soon be playing at Bayern? Uli Hoeneß is reserved – but that could be tactics.
Florian Wirtz has still not extended his contract with Leverkusen. This could also be due to the fact that FC Bayern is still on it. And the negotiations should apparently become more specific. “Sky” reports.
On the part of the record champion, honorary president Uli Hoeneß was commissioned to negotiate, it is said. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is at his side, reports the broadcaster. The “picture” also writes that Hoeneß should try to bring the top talent to Munich. There is already a contact.
However, FC Bayern faces a dilemma: the public statements that you are interested in Wirtz are driving the price up if you want it before the end of the contract. At the same time, according to the “picture”, the traditional club also has to save. “The total salary expenditure is to be reduced by 20 percent, over 100 million euros should be taken with string candidates,” the report says. For Wirtz, one expects a transfer fee of 15 million euros. This is probably why Hoeneß had shown himself to the “Welt am Sonntag” on Friday. “” We need a special fund for his transfer, like the federal government. So that’s not an issue at the moment. “
Ex-international Lothar Matthäus confirmed the “Bild” that there are contacts. “Uli Hoeneß wants this and he actually fulfills all the wishes at FC Bayern. So Uli has been in contact with the Wirtz family for a long time. It’s no secret,” he said.
It is not yet clear whether Leverkusen Wirtz will let go at all. The money would be located, but it is questionable whether you want the star to be switched to the main competitor. Managing Director Simon Rolfes said “Sky” that he assumes remaining: “We have not announced anything else. So we assume because all contracts have.”
Florian Wirtz’s contract expires in 2027. According to Sky information, Bayer Leverkusen tries to keep the striker even further, even if you expect that he will switch to another club at the latest after the 2026 World Cup.
