Bayern Munich chief takes relaxed stance as German wonderkid explores options amid Liverpool, Man City and Real Madrid interest
Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has adopted a surprisingly casual tone regarding Florian Wirtz’s future, after reports emerged that the Bayer Leverkusen sensation recently visited England to weigh up his options. The 21-year-old playmaker, who has netted 34 goals across the past two seasons, finds himself at the center of a major transfer battle with Europe’s top clubs circling.
“Florian Wirtz is free to visit Liverpool, Manchester, Madrid or wherever with his family and friends,” Eberl told reporters with a shrug when asked about the young star’s travels. “If he made this trip, they’ll have their reasons. It’s not our place to comment on that.”
The nonchalant response comes despite:
- Premier League interest: Manchester City view Wirtz as Kevin De Bruyne’s eventual successor
- Liverpool’s plans: The Reds see him as a marquee signing after their title-winning campaign
- Bayern’s historical advantage: Traditionally first choice for German superstars
Sources at Leverkusen reportedly prefer Wirtz to move abroad rather than strengthen domestic rivals Bayern, who are already eyeing defender Jonathan Tah from the Bundesliga champions. The situation mirrors that of Jeremie Frimpong, who appears Anfield-bound as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential replacement.
Eberl remained philosophical about Bayern’s summer business: “There’s a lot of speculation in Munich. I try to ignore it as much as possible so we can conduct our business calmly.” His relaxed demeanor suggests either supreme confidence in landing Wirtz eventually – or acceptance that this time, Bayern might not get their man.
As the transfer saga unfolds, all eyes remain on Wirtz’s next move, with the young maestro holding the cards in what could become one of the summer’s biggest deals.
