English media teases: Wirtz transfer embarrasses FC Bayern!

The football world is sitting on red hot coals as the transfer season brings with it exciting developments. A particularly hot topic is the transfer of Florian Wirtz, who moved from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool for up to 150 million euros. This deal is making big headlines in England and the Guardian is calling it a “real coup” for the Reds, which also brings “unpleasant surprises” to FC Bayern Munich. The English media is celebrating this move and using it to focus on Harry Kane's recent transfer. Let's remember: Kane moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern in August 2023 and that caused a lot of excitement and negative comments in the British press at the time, such as soester-anzeiger.de.

For FC Bayern, last season was a year full of ups and downs with Harry Kane in the lead role. He was not only voted player of the season in the Bundesliga, but also secured top scorer status and celebrated his first title with the record champions. However, Bayern failed in the Champions League semi-finals, which kept the expectations of the team no less high. The pressure will also be reduced in the new season, because Vincent Kompany is at the helm as the new coach and the players feel a good connection with him. Max Eberl, the sports director, had already had a lot of praise for Kane's performance after he moved, but now he too is challenged.

Defensive weaknesses and personnel issues

In the coming transfer period, Bayern wants to strengthen its defense and has its eye on Jonathan Tah to support him as head of defense. The situation surrounding Thomas Müller, who recently celebrated a farewell party and is thinking about his future options, including a possible move to Los Angeles FC and a possible TV career, is also a topic of conversation. Eberl also has to sell some players to generate fresh money, which could, for example, bring Kim Min-jae and Kingsley Coman onto the transfer market. Leroy Sané is also in negotiations over a contract extension, while Leon Goretzka, who has been in top form, has assured that he will stay at Bayern despite transfer rumors.

Another excitement on the market is the interest in Florian Wirtz. Bayern believe they have reached a verbal agreement with the player but are under pressure, particularly from Liverpool's latest offer. Real Madrid's alleged interest is not considered serious, the main concern at the moment is their Premier League rivals. The situation surrounding Harry Kane remains no less exciting, as a return to the Premier League continues to be discussed, especially in view of Bayern's successes in the coming season and his own performances.

An outlook on the transfer season

How will the situation develop for FC Bayern? Eberl and his team will have to have a good knack for finding the right balance between sales and new additions, while at the same time keeping the media jibes from England in mind. It remains to be seen whether Bayern will emerge from this transfer period as the shining winners or whether they will be exposed to further embarrassment. One thing is certain: the coming weeks promise to keep football fans glued to their televisions and shake up the transfer market, as on cfbayerninsider.com and newsnow.com is reported.
