Bayern Munich has been interested in Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz for years, but what is the relationship like between the parties?
Well, if you are a fan of Leverkusen, this might not be a fun read from Sport Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia):
Florian Wirtz thinks very highly of FC Bayern as a club. Together with his father/agent Hans, he had visited the Bayern campus as a youth player in 2019. In the end, he decided to move from Köln to Leverkusen because of the geographical proximity and the direct promotion to the first team.
But Bayern never lost touch with Wirtz. Uli Hoeneß invited Wirtz’s parents to visit him at his home in Tegernsee even after the move to Leverkusen. Mother Karin and father Hans accepted this invitation and had a meeting with Hoeneß. The latter didn’t want to answer about the topic when asked by Sport Bild.
As the Bavarians seek to re-up Jamal Musiala and with Paul Wanner looking like a future star, does Bayern Munich really need Wirtz?
Need and want are two different things, but it appears as if the Bavarians believe adding Wirtz to the mix could make the Bayern Munich attack one for the ages in the coming years.
