"With several senior departures in the attack, Bayern identified two Bundesliga stars to strengthen the attack. They had identified Florian Wirtz as their primary summer transfer target. However, the German attacking midfielder was not convinced by the project at Bayern. He eventually agreed to a move to Liverpool. After losing out on Wirtz, Bayern turned their attention to other wingers in Europe, but couldn't get deals over the line for different reasons. They eventually signed Luis Diaz from Liverpool at the end of July."
"For the second forward, Bayern wanted to sign Nick Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart. The record Bundesliga champions had three bids rejected for Woltemade.

However, Stuttgart ended up selling Woltemade to Newcastle United late in the summer for €90 million. While talking to BR Sport (via Independent), Karl-Heinz Rummenigge insisted that Bayern had no intention to meet Stuttgart's demands."
