Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has hinted that he wants to sign Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, with Liverpool also interested in the youngster.
While speaking to journalist Kerry Hau, he was affirmative when asked about Bayerns’ efforts to sign Wirtz.
“We’ll see.”
He responded
Apart from the German giants, there are other European giants in line for the 20-year-old’s signature. The likes of Manchester City, Liverpool are a few.
Moreover, Italian journalist, Fabrizio Romano broke the news of Liverpool’s interest for Wirtz, back in March. It now seems like the young star could be primed for a mega-money move in 2024.

Jamail Musiala has had stints at England and had a choice to represent either England or Germany. He eventually chose Germany and has excelled ever since for his national side.
