"I'm happy when they play a lot of games and get a lot of minutes, that's the most important thing for me. It's not ideal for the German Bundesliga that the best German players are moving to England. But that's how it is. It's kind of normal at this period of time. Flo is already one of the most important players for us. Nick is too and will be in the future."
"The tough part of Wirtz and Woltemade moving to the Premier League is that both transfers came at the expense of Bayern Munich, who wanted both players. For Nagelsmann, though, this could also end up working against his players. If Wirtz or Woltemade struggle, the could just end up as another set of high-priced players on the bench for English teams - and not thriving on the field in Germany."
Julian Nagelsmann values his players competing at the highest level and prioritizes them receiving many minutes, even if that requires moves from the Bundesliga to the Premier League. Florian Wirtz and Nick Woltemade transferred to Liverpool and Newcastle United respectively, moves Bayern Munich had wanted to make. Those transfers could harm their careers if either player struggles and becomes a high-priced bench option in England. Bayern Munich currently is on break, and Germany began World Cup qualifying poorly. Other topics include Thomas Müller’s return to Bayern, Kimmich’s positional debate, accountability issues, and an Erik ten Hag–Leverkusen controversy.
