Eberl about Wirtz transfer: Bavaria has to reorient!

München, Deutschland - Florian Wirtz will not be playing for Bayern Munich in the coming season. Max Eberl, the club's sports director, recently commented on the fact that the talented midfielder decided to switch to Liverpool. Despite intensive discussions with the Munich team, the financial offer of the Reds was ultimately crucial for Wirtz 'decision. According to radiokoeln.de Liverpool is expected to pay up to 150 million euros to Bayer Leverkusen, which exceeds the financial possibilities of the German record champion.

"We could not manage the sum that Liverpool is willing to pay," confessed Eberl. This suggests that Bayern Munich also has to consider the reality of the current player transfer game - including the exorbitant market prices. Wirtz was not only a desired candidate, but is also considered one of the best players in Germany - experts now appreciate his market value up to 150 million euros, which makes him one of the most valuable players in the Bundesliga. According to transfermarkt.de the list of the most valuable players has already been updated for the 2024/25 season, and the young German is at the top.

The disappointment about Wirtz 'decision

for Eberl and the entire Bayern team, the rejection of Wirtz is a setback. "We could have imagined a move to Bavaria," said the sports director. But despite all the efforts and the involvement of board members such as Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the disappointment remains noticeable. "We will have to reorganize ourselves," continued Eberl. This means that Bavaria now has to put their heads together to find a replacement for the outstanding player.

As the market analysis shows, Wirtz is not only sought after because of its skills in the game. It is often compared to greats like Philippe Coutinho - regarding its versatility and danger of scoring. Ex-Liverpool striker Emile Heskey confirmed that Wirtz can act as number 10 and as the wrong nine. With this flexibility, its value on the transfer market is difficult to estimate, and many experts exalt its value over 100 million euros.

Future strategies

The question remains how Bayern Munich will deal with the challenges of the transfer market in the future. The replacement of wing players and creatives before the season is a real challenge. The team will not only have to look around in order to compensate for Wirtz 'departure, but also to rethink the previous business model. There are discussions about alternative options on the market in order not only to use the short period of time, but also to remain competitive in the long term.

This is how you could say: Now it is time to have a good hand and make the right decisions in order to be able to play at the top in the future. Because the season promises exciting developments, not only for Bayern Munich, but also for the entire Bundesliga.
