The humilation of Bayern Munich in the hands of the Liverpool Football Club could prove to be a long -term disguised blessing.
The Bavarian giants, for beginners, have other key areas of the team to tackle beyond the strengthening of position n ° 10.
But in the meantime, he will undoubtedly have pricked to learn that the most prestigious talent in Germany was not a dead circle signature for the dominant force of the Bundesliga.
How Liverpool beat Bayern to Florian Wirtz
For several months, it was considered something that limits the certainty that the Bayern of the FC would win the race for the midfielder of Bayer Leverkusen.
Manchester City, after all, had withdrawn from the race, citing the potentially seismic costs to conclude an agreement. Meanwhile, Real Madrid does not seem to make a serious movement a lot before the 2026 summer window.
Everything suited the Champions of Bundesliga … until the Reds of Arne Slot produced their own convincing land for Wirtz.
“On Sunday May 18, there was a secret meeting in Munich with Florian Wirtz. He was taken directly from the airport to a town hall in a limousine. From the underground park, he was taken into a suite in an elevator “,” Christian Falk exclusively informed the catch -up.
“There, Wirtz had interviews with coach Vincent Kompany, director of sport Max Eberl, sports director Christoph Freund, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and members of the supervisory board Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Uli Hoeneß also attended the meeting. It was day of championship celebrations.
“After these discussions, Wirtz went on vacation. He thought about it for five days – and finally politely refused the move to Bayern. Wirtz informed Kompany. decisive.
How close to Liverpool is an agreement with Leverkusen?
It is now understood that Liverpool has submitted an offer totaling around 109 million pounds sterling [€130m] For Florian Wirtz.
Once the two outfits can agree on an appropriate set of additional modules to be included in the agreement, it seems very unlikely that everything prevents the German international from moving to Anfield.
This would represent a record agreement for the Merseysiders – comfortably eclipically the 85 million pounds sterling they spent for Darwin Nunez.
The Uruguayan now strongly led to start this summer, it is undoubtedly a welcome reality to see one of the best European talents face the club signature of the club.
A declaration of intention in the Premier League
Forget the fact that Liverpool managed to break the Bayern monopoly on the best German players.
Fees exceeding 100 million pounds sterling – an amount that they had previously prepared to commit to now Chelsea Man Moises Caicedo – represents a huge declaration of intention.
It is the men of Arne Slot who report to their competitors of the Premier League that they intend to keep the title. For what it is worth, it is a feat that the Reds have not achieved since the 1983/84 season.
Beyond that, this could not be a more aggressive response to the disappointment of a sequence of 16 outings in the hands of the finalists of the Champions League of this year, PSG.
