Bayern Munich Target Four Star Players After Wirtz Transfer Failure

Bayern Munich Target Four Star Players After Wirtz Transfer Failure

Bayern Munich is seeking alternatives after failing to secure Florian Wirtz who opted to join Liverpool — a transfer estimated to reach €136 million.

Rafael Leão, Nico Williams, Bradley Barcola, and Eberechi Eze have become primary targets for the Bundesliga club — a situation made more urgent by the confirmed departures of Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané.

“Of course, you get the feeling that we should do something because Flo is not coming, Leroy will be gone, and Thomas will be gone,” stated Joshua Kimmich.

Bayern faces several challenges in their player pursuit:

  • AC Milan’s high demands for Leão
  • Williams has a €60 million release clause but prefers Barcelona
  • Barcola recently won Champions League with PSG
  • Eze is also targeted by Manchester United

Max Eberl, Bayern’s sports director, is under pressure following several transfer setbacks — including prolonged contract negotiations with Alphonso Davies and Kimmich.
