Florian Wirtz's decision to decline Bayern Munich's offer stemmed from worries regarding positional competition with teammate Jamal Musiala. The coaching staff, feeling the need to create a new role for Wirtz, couldn't convince him of the move's viability. Head coach Vincent Kompany's an hour-long discussion with Wirtz highlighted the differences in clubs' strategic approaches. Bayern lacked a clear plan for integrating Wirtz, contrasting with Liverpool that had a dedicated strategy for building the team around him, ultimately influencing Wirtz's choice and showcasing Bayern's need for better organizational preparedness.
"Kompany spoke with Wirtz for a full hour at the hotel room... But by the time it was over, Kompany was said to have expressed serious doubts about Bayern's chances of signing Wirtz."
"At FC Bayern, they believe that Florian Wirtz rejected the move to Munich because he feared being involved in a 'positional tussle' with Jamal Musiala."
