"I have to say honestly, in the case of Florian Wirtz, it still hurts, because I believe the player would have been better off at Bayern than at Liverpool,"
"We could have signed Woltemade. But I also have to say: Bayern Munich are wise enough not to engage in every kind of financial madness, I've always said: We want to achieve sporting success, but please, in a serious and financially sound way. We have a top team this year as well. And when the players who are currently injured come back soon, then we'll have a great team."
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge remains disappointed about missing Florian Wirtz and believes Wirtz would have suited Bayern better than Liverpool. Florian Wirtz transferred from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool for a reported €125m (£109m) after 140 Bundesliga appearances with 35 goals and 44 assists and won the Bundesliga title and DFB-Pokal in 2024. Bayern pursued Wirtz to replicate a midfield partnership with Jamal Musiala. Bayern also opted not to pursue Nick Woltemade at reported high cost, citing financial prudence and confidence in the current squad once injured players return.
