"Salihamidzic and his squad planner Marco Neppe weren't the only ones who managed to prevent the Wolfsburg deal with financial arguments. The duo Salihamidzic and Neppe saw Wanner as a future starter and predicted a breakthrough similar to Jamal Musiala's . The fact that Wanner soon received a permanent place in Nagelsmann's squad and signed a contract that was extremely lucrative for a youth player caused problems."
"From then on, not only was the hype surrounding the youngster gigantic, but so was the envy. Especially at the Campus, FCB's youth academy. Other youth players, as well as their parents and advisors, paid particular attention to Wanner's performances. They were sometimes even the topic of conversation in the stands at UEFA Youth League, Junior Bundesliga, or Bavarian Regional League matches. Remarks like "What Wanner does, my son can do twice as well" were among the more polite sort."
Salihamidzic and squad planner Marco Neppe prevented a Wolfsburg transfer using financial arguments and expected Wanner to become a starter with Musiala-like potential. Wanner secured a permanent place in Nagelsmann's squad and signed an unusually lucrative contract for a youth player, which generated massive hype and envy at the FC Bayern Campus. Other youth players, parents, and advisors closely monitored and compared performances, often voicing dismissive remarks. High public expectations hindered Wanner's ability to perform consistently. After Salihamidzic and Neppe departed, management increasingly perceived Wanner as overrated and overpaid.
