In a recent interview with German media outlet Welt, Bayern Munich’s chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge expressed his regret over missing the chance to sign midfielder Florian Wirtz this summer.
The talented German player ultimately joined Liverpool for a staggering €125 million, but Rummenigge believes Bayern would have been a better fit for him.
Rummenigge stated, “I must honestly say that I am still sorry for Florian Wirtz, as I think he would be better off at Bayern Munich than at Liverpool.” His comments reflect a keen interest in the player, highlighting Bayern’s ambition to attract top talent.
The Bayern chief also referenced another missed opportunity, striker Nick Woltemade, who moved to Newcastle for €75 million. Rummenigge acknowledged that Bayern could have secured Woltemade’s services as well, showing his concern over the club’s recruitment strategy.
“Bayern should not get caught up in all the financial craziness”
However, Rummenigge emphasized the importance of financial prudence, stating, “Bayern should not get caught up in all the financial craziness.” He reiterated the club’s desire for sporting success while maintaining a solid financial foundation.
With injuries affecting key players like Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, and Hiroki Ito, Rummenigge remains optimistic about Bayern’s prospects. He believes that if these players return soon, the team will be in excellent shape for the season ahead.
