Florian Wirtz

[oldius]

Silva, YaYa, Aguero and Bernardo.

I just mentioned those signed from the Bundesliga, but you're spot on.

So effectively they’re confident of paying him a €20–25m salary plus a €150m transfer fee?

Yeah, sounds about right—for a German club?

This just reeks of corruption.

When their highest-ever transfer fee is like €40m or something, I’m sorry, but no matter what you guys tell me, I refuse to believe a Bundesliga club can genuinely afford numbers like these.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

This is the same view City currently have. lol

Kane was their biggest outlay at €80m.

Bayern could pay €100m plus if they wanted but I agree, they won't want to pay upwards of €150m when they need other players in that squad.

Bayern are prudent and in likely their own words, probably don't see themselves as "vulgar" club in the market.

Their revenue is on par with ours though due to their huge commercial revenue received from outside of Germany. Bayern are one of the top 5 biggest clubs in world football whether people like it or not.

They can afford it. Just don't need to, they just bully the rest of the league into signing their players for fuck all.

My mistake, although none of these were mistakes.:-)

I dont think Leverkusen will let him go to Bayern for fuck all though. They hate them and will rinse them if thats where he decides he wants to go

Which to your point...is where Bayern tell him to wait till his contract is done and move for free

 

[skillman]

Given our transfer record, and the number of top players that we have signed, why are people obsessed with Bayern? Have we forgotten Sané, DeBruyne, Haaland, and Gvardiol?

He's German. I know Sane is too but he ran to Bayern the second they came knocking.

 

[Gabriel]

Hobbled more like. We barely saw him (24 minutes) in his final season.

You can refuse to believe it but it’s facts. Just because Munich refused to buy players for 300M a year doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be able to. They just weren’t dumb enough to overpay players for a whole decade. They just started to fuck up when they gave several players 17-20M contracts and bought Sané for whatever they bought him for. gnabry is out next year and he is currently on like 17M/ year .

I mean in general, look how many free transfers or into the last 12mths signings they make for lower than normal costs.

 

[Tevez City]

 

[Gorbachev]

Fichajes is a truly awful source

 

[Legal Alien]

He's going to have loads of options, but if we get in the CL he'll come to us i reckon.

Not only do we have Pep, who's a huge draw, we have an enticing reload going on, bringing in top class, young players from all over the world and Pep's leading it. With Wirtz pulling the strings, the sky's the limit!

We better get that CL spot nailed down now!

 

[King Jay]

Another reason not to for Rodrygo

That's how they should sell it. In Bayern he would play off position and in Madrid he would have the same difficulties as Rodrygo.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Replacement? How? They play different positions and have different profiles

 

[blueparrot]

Yes, and for that very reason Rodrygo is very unlikely to be an alternative to Wirtz for us too.
