Liverpool wrapped up the title in late April, allowing their sporting director, Richard Hughes, to focus on signing new players. Wirtz was one of their top targets, along with other players like Jeremie Frimpong. Bayern Munich and Manchester City were also in the running for Wirtz, but Manchester City dropped out due to the cost of signing the German international.

Wirtz's father has revealed that his son is looking for a new challenge outside of the Bundesliga, having spent five years playing for Bayer Leverkusen's first team. This has led to Bayern Munich expressing surprise at Wirtz's decision to turn them down.

Dreesen has said that Bayern Munich is one of the top clubs in the world, with a huge appeal among fans and players. He acknowledged that not every player will choose to join the club, but emphasized that Bayern Munich remains a top destination for many top players.

Wirtz is one of the most sought-after young players in Europe, and his decision to join Liverpool has left Bayern Munich with a loss. Despite their size and reputation, Bayern Munich will be envious of Liverpool's success in signing Wirtz.
