FC Bayern has declared Florian Wirtz as a desired transfer. But now there is a new development – and the Munich threatens to go empty.
That would be a bitter blow for FC Bayern: Florian Wirtz apparently personally canceled the German record champion. This reported Sky on Friday evening. Transfer reporter Sacha Tavolieri had previously reported that the Wirtz camp informed the Munich team about the decision. Later in the evening, the “Kicker” by Wirtz ‘announcement also wrote to the Munich.
Instead, Wirtz should be on the way to the Premier League: The 22-year-old decided to move to the new English master FC Liverpool. On Friday, the renowned and usually well-informed “The Athletic” reporter David Ornstein reported this before Sky and “Kicker” climbed. According to Sky, a transfer over 130 to 150 million euros is already approved for the “Reds”, but an offer to Wirtz ‘current club Bayer Leverkusen is still pending.
Ornstein continued to report that Wirtz had already traveled to the northwest of England to find a suitable house in the event of a change to Liverpool.
Does the new English champion, who in the first year under the new coach Arne Slot, who had inherited Jürgen Klopp on the Angard Road Road, snap the title in the Premier League that Bayern gone her dream player in front of her nose?
The tug of war around Wirtz, who actually has a contract in Leverkusen until 2027, has already become a transfer saga. So much that T-Online columnist Stefan Effenberg recently complained: “This unworthy rumere does not help anyone, especially not himself.” And further: “He should finally decide and communicate it openly – it is one of his own best.” In the end, it could be very quick.
