Florian Wirtz, the coveted Bayer Leverkusen star, is Bayern Munich's top transfer target, with recent rumors of negotiations between the clubs. Bayern's honorary president, Uli HoeneÃ, clarified that past meetings with Wirtz's family were not related to a potential transfer. He emphasized Wirtz's two-year contract with Leverkusen makes a move unlikely without the club's consent. Despite financial concerns about Bayern's budget, Hoeneà insists the club remains financially healthy enough to pursue high-profile transfers if they wish, but there are no concrete discussions underway for Wirtz at this time.
"They were at Tegernsee, that was over nine months or a year ago. It wasn't about a transfer at all. I just helped the family and gave them advice on certain things, like sponsorships."
"But we never concretely discussed a Florian move to FC Bayern. We mustn't forget that he still has two years left on his contract with Bayer Leverkusen."
"I think it's totally dubious for people to act as if the thing is done."
"FC Bayern is in top shape... if it wanted to, could of course make a transfer like that."
