Germany’s golden boys: FC Bayern continues to work on the Wusiala dream

München – Popcorn out – it’s international match time again! Just a year ago this sentence would have been seen as biting irony, but now it is fully justified again. Also thanks to the super talents Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz. Germany’s golden boys have long since established themselves as the main attraction of the national team and could also cause a spectacle at FC Bayern from next summer.

For record national player Lothar Matthäus, the two offensive artists are clearly the most important German players for the coming years. It is “already characterized by great stability,” said the 63-year-old.

“These are the two great players we have. But they need help from outside, from their own environment, from the coaches.” Both would mean that the ball loves them, said Matthäus and made comparisons to Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona: “Neither of them hurt the ball.”

FC Bayern Munich: The dream of the Musiala/Wirtz duo is extremely expensive

Musiala has been playing a leading role for the record champions for a long time. His desire to play together with DFB friend Wirtz in the club is documented. The Munich team is also interested in the offensive jewel of Bayer Leverkusen. According to AZ information, the Bayer Leverkusen playmaker is held in the highest regard by the Bayern bosses.

They really want to sign him – ideally next summer. Everyone at Säbener Strasse is aware that the dream of the Wusiala attack duo would be extremely expensive. Just to extend Musiala’s contract, which expires in 2026, the Munich team will have to go to the limit financially.

In addition, there is a transfer fee and salary for Wirtz, which in the overall package should even exceed Harry Kane’s previous record transfer last year. Nevertheless, the Bayern bosses will try everything to make the Wusiala dream come true.

Uli Hoeneß is said to have invited the Wirtz family to Lake Tegernsee

In fact, Bayern have been working on exactly this for years. When Musiala moved from Chelsea to Munich in 2019, Wirtz – who was still a youth player at 1. FC Köln at the time – was also high on the bosses’ wish list. Uli Hoeneß in particular is a big fan of the now 21-year-old and is said to have even invited the current national player’s family to Lake Tegernsee and a tour of the campus that year, according to “Sport Bild”, to convince them of a move to Munich convince.

However, due to the local proximity to his family and better prospects of playing in the first team, Wirtz decided to move to Leverkusen, where he celebrated his Bundesliga debut in May 2020.

Lothar Matthäus: Hansi Flick really wanted to bring Florian Wirtz to FC Bayern

However, the contact did not end because of this, on the contrary. In the years that followed, Bayern made several forays into the offensive player. As Matthäus recently revealed, Hansi Flick also really wanted to bring the current national player to Munich – but former sports director Hasan Salihamidzic is said to have vetoed this.

“That was an argument between Hansi Flick and Bayern Munich. I think he would have been available. But Bayern Munich didn’t want him. And Hansi Flick wanted Florian Wirtz,” Matthäus recently said on “Sky90”. Salihamidzic then denied the statement to “Bild” and assured that they had definitely shown interest in the Leverkusen star.

“During Julian Nagelsmann’s time, we looked more closely at Wirtz again, even though he had just torn his cruciate ligament. That alone shows how convinced we were of the player,” said Salihamidzic: “But back then, because of him “A transfer is not feasible due to the contractual situation and his career planning.” According to Nagelsmann, the transfer also failed because it “cost a few euros too much” and “no one found that much money.”

One thing is clear: For Wirtz, who is tied to Leverkusen until 2027 and has no exit clause in his contract, Bayern will have to stretch significantly further financially in the coming attempt. Honorary President Hoeneß would obviously be willing to do so. “Everyone knows that I would like to see him at Bayern Munich,” said the Bayern patron in the summer, continuing his charm offensive towards the Leverkusen star.

“We can spend 100 million euros on a Harry Kane once, maybe again on a German player,” the 72-year-old said in April during a panel discussion with the “FAZ” in April. It should be clear who was meant by that…
