Bayern Munich’s long standing interest in signing Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz has been very well noted. Along with that knowledge naturally came many attempts from the press to elicit more information from the Bayern officials about said interest in the German star and provoke some juicy, controversial quotes to splash all over their front page. At a particularly interesting moment, less than a week before Bayern’s big clash against Leverkusen, the Bavarians’ sporting director Christoph Freund was asked again whether Wirtz could be a Bayern target in 2025.
X account @iMiaSanMia captured his response: “That’s not our topic right now. We’re very happy with the squad we have. Of course Flo Wirtz is a great player, did very well last season and is playing well together with Jamal in the national team. But as I said we’re happy with our squad. I can’t say what will happen in the coming months and years and don’t want to speculate.”
As per usual, Freund refused to make an inflammatory comments, though he did leave the door open for a potential move. The former FC Köln youth player hardly needs a good audition next weekend for Bayern to be interested in acquiring his services, but perhaps he can give the Bavarian giants yet another reason to sign him during the clash between first and second in the Bundesliga. Or perhaps not. After all, we’re hoping for a Bavarian victory.
Why is Bayern Munich doing so much better under Vincent Kompany compared to Thomas Tuchel? What’s changed, and what does it say about the Tuchel era? And what should we expect for the upcoming game against Bayer Leverkusen? We discuss all that and more in our newest podcast episode! Listen to it below or on Spotify.
