Bayern Munich News: FC Bayern not actively pursuing Liverpool star Florian Wirtz; Man City eyeing BVB’s Felix Nmecha; Tottenham Hotspur is melting down; and MORE!
Maybe one day FC Bayern will get Florian Wirtz.
Bayern Munich has no immediate plans to sign Liverpool's Florian Wirtz, according to Sport Bild's Christian Falk. The German club boasts a strong squad and is confident in their current lineup, with Lucas Hernandez occupying a central defensive role. Liverpool's hefty transfer fee for Wirtz has also played a role in Bayern's decision.
The two had previously met in secret meetings in Munich and Liverpool, with Arne Slot convincing Wirtz to join Liverpool. While Bayern may keep an eye on Wirtz's progress, a transfer is unlikely in the near future.
Meanwhile, Manchester City and Liverpool are both monitoring Borussia Dortmund's Felix Nmecha. The 25-year-old midfielder has impressed so far this season, and his performances for Germany could increase his value. However, a January transfer is being ruled out, as both clubs await Nmecha's form heading into the next major international tournament. A January move would be financially beneficial for both Nmecha and Dortmund, as well as provide a platform to potentially profit from his international appearances.
Bayern Munich's sporting director, Christoph Freund, has received interest from Liverpool. However, Freund recently extended his contract with Bayern until 2029, making it unlikely that he would leave the club anytime soon. Liverpool is exploring other internal candidates, with Richard Hughes' departure creating an opening for a new sporting director.
Freund's tenure at Bayern has seen both successes and controversies, including the signings of Eric Dier and Jonas Urbig. Despite some criticism, he remains a respected figure in European football.
