Bayern Munich's focus on signing Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz intensifies, with notable interest from Manchester City and Real Madrid. Jupp Heynckes draws parallels between Wirtz and Toni Kroos, emphasizing Wirtz's need for self-belief and resilience in overcoming challenges, including past injuries. Heynckes believes Wirtz has the mentality necessary for a successful career in top football, akin to Kroos' journey to Real Madrid. Simultaneously, discussions surrounding striker Patrik Schick's potential move to Bayern are ongoing, though his transition seems unlikely if he's merely to support another player. Bayern is also preparing for their final Bundesliga match against Hoffenheim.
"This serious young man... has to follow his inner voice. He has to do what he thinks is best for himself and is happy to seek advice from his parents."
"Wirtz... will face other obstacles that will require the mental stability to overcome. His physique... and robustness... are crucial to have a world-class career."
