"Of course, English clubs pay insane amounts, But even for Wirtz, Bayern were prepared to put together a package worth up to €100m. And, as for Nick Woltemade: That's a different case. Bayern has a financial budget. The club has excelled for decades by staying out of debt and growing big. That's why I understand why Bayern decided not to pay more than €55m for Woltemade. Because the player wasn't worth more to them."

Florian Wirtz completed a £100m move to Liverpool in June, plus up to £16m in add-ons, after recording 30 goal contributions in 2024-25. The German midfielder made 119 appearances under Xabi Alonso for Bayer Leverkusen, scoring 38 goals and providing 43 assists during that time. Wirtz was linked with Manchester City and Bayern Munich but signed a six-year deal with Liverpool under Arne Slot. He has impressed at Anfield despite no goal or assist yet, and scored a notable free-kick for Germany in a World Cup qualifier. Bayern opted not to pay over €55m for Nick Woltemade due to budget and valuation considerations.
