Yet announced to Bayern Munich for several months, and even by Bavarian leaders, who never hesitated to discuss his transfer despite his membership in Bayer Leverkusen, Florian Wirtz finally went to Liverpool. The Mannschaft attacking midfielder was transferred to the Reds against a check for 137 million euros and a contract until 2030. And obviously, Bayern Munich would have preferred to see it in Germany.
“In general, I think it's a shame. We have always had their philosophy that the best German players should play for FC Bayern. We have given everything, in this case, no one made an error. This is Florian Wirtz's decision, and we have to accept it (…) The big problem is the high salaries. FC Bayern also feels it. Regarding the salaries of our players, we were somewhat generous – and we must say it in a self -critical way ”said Karl-Heinz Rummenigge on Welt Am Sonntag.
