Together with Allianz and Audi, the sporting goods manufacturer holds 8.33 percent shares of FC Bayern AG. Supervisory Board and Honorary President Uli Hoeneß searched for initial talks with Adidas and promoted to enable financial participation in the transfer, the sheet writes. Although Wirtz is already under contract with the company from Herzogenaurach, Leverkusen is working with another supplier-with this argument, the Bavarian leadership should deal with his sponsor, who would logically see the top star of the Bundesliga and the DFB selection at an adidas club.
The expected record transfer of the Munich team should include a volume of a good 250 million euros. To have Wirtz pulled, one hopes in Leverkusen for around 150 million euros. In order to equip it in Munich with a four- or five-year contract, another 100 million to 125 million euros are likely to be due. If one assumes a transfer fee of EUR 150 million and a five -year contract with a salary of EUR 25 million, this record transfer in the Munich record would cost 55 million euros each in the next five years.
The latest reports indicated that Wirtz would move to Munich to club abroad like Manchester City or Real Madrid. As the “picture” reported during the week, the 22-year-old is said to have already informed his coach Xabi Alonso about it. Accordingly, the player page has already agreed with the FCB. Again and again there have been a meeting of father and consultant Hans Wirtz with Bayern patron Hoeneß and sports director Max Eberl. Now in Munich you work intensively on the financing, which, in addition to the possible adidas engagement, is also to be replaced by the transfer market and saved salaries-so it was recently speculated via a prank list of the Bayern bosses, which includes eight professionals from the current squad.
In an interview with the magazine “Sports Illustrated”, Wirtz said this week: “In any case, I am excited to leave my comfort zone and experience something new at some point.” The Pulheimer has so far spent his career in Cologne and Leverkusen, which is only 20 and 40 kilometers away from his place of birth. “I know the football cabins well enough and I am convinced that I would find connections quickly anywhere,” Wirtz is certain.
