On several occasions, honorary president Uli Hoeness has talked about Florian Wirtz as the dream player for Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga giants have a long tradition of securing their rivals’ best players, so this comes as no surprise. However, it becomes more of a word, when Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rumnenigge goes out and talks about the big plan.
Manchester City have also flashed Bayer Leverkusen’s and Germany’s superstar, and the 21-year-old is no less than tipped to be Kevin de Bruyne’s replacement, according to several English media. That says a lot about the expectations placed on Wirtz’s potential and further development. Bayern Munich intend to stop City’s advance. They will create one of the world’s best offensive duos with Musiala and Wirtz.
Bayern boss Rummenigge leaves no doubt about the club’s top priority.
“Everyone at FC Bayern agrees that he is exactly the player we want to sign. Not to weaken Leverkusen, but to strengthen us,” Rummenigge says bluntly to AZ.
On March 5, the same Florian Wirtz will do everything possible to send Bayern Munich out of the Champions League. This will be quite a battle. At the same time, there is an intense battle going on off the pitch to steer Wirtz against Manchester and Munich. When Karl-Heinz goes out and is so clear about Wirtz, we understand that this signing battle will go a long way to Bayern to win.
Game’s on.
