Bayern Munich continues to be linked with a transfer move for Florian Wirtz. Speculation surrounding the 23-year-old Bayer Leverkusen playmaker has resurfaced this week.
Wirtz has long been considered one of Germany's biggest talents and would be a boost for the record champion's attack. The player himself has not commented on a potential future in Munich in the past. Leverkusen, however, would likely only consider a move for their key man for a very substantial transfer fee.
Bayern's Current Form
The transfer talk comes against the backdrop of mixed recent form for Bayern. Vincent Kompany's side most recently won 2-1 away at SV Elversberg on September 13th. Harry Kane scored the winner in the 72nd minute, having earlier assisted Lennart Karl for the opening goal. In their last five competitive matches, Munich have recorded two wins, one draw, and two defeats (WLDWL). The full overview of recent results and goalscorers is available on our stats page.
A look at the current squad shows the attack is already well-stocked with players like Kane, Jamal Musiala, and Michael Olise. Olise scored a brace in the 5-0 win over Bodo/Glimt just on September 10th. Integrating another top star like Wirtz would further increase competition for places in the forward line and add depth.
The next chance to see the team in action comes on the next matchday. Until official confirmation from the clubs, all speculation regarding Wirtz remains just that. The club's leadership has not commented on the recent reports.
