Kid has a contract until 2027, nothing has been completed on his exit...to Bayern or anywhere else

Leverkusen are in the driver's seat & already incensed by BM's unsettling of the player - this is far from done

Could have been a Dani Olmo replacement for free in 2027 or cheap in 2026.
But no, has to go to Bayern. :rolleyes:

Bro we got the better German here. Your Fuhrer. Come on, man.

Leverkusen asks 150m, Bayern's pain threshold is around 100m. Reports say Bayern tries sponsors to help them carry this deal. If they reach 130m + some variables, the transfer will go through. It also makes sense for Leverkusen, instead of keeping an unhappy player who will generate half that amount next summer.

Leverkusen is also an exception in Germany, as they're the team of the Bayer group, which means the economic part will be even a bit more important than in other teams. It'll depend if Bayern can convince Adidas to pitch in.

But I don't see why Bayern needs him to be honest. Because either him or Musiala needs to go on the wing and both players are not natural wingers. It'll be a record transfer for a player they don't really need. Feels a bit like the Mbappe transfer for Madrid.
And if they pay so much, they won't have much left to be able to fix problems on other positions. The only reason they rush is probably because they think it's now or never. He's on the market only once.

Or Kompany will try out the 4-3-3 with both of them OM. But Kimmich never played the solo 6 in his career. They better have a plan to include him into the team.

Looks like one of those GenZ kids who grew up admiring Pep's dream team. But alas, Barca have never been shrewd market players. Our transfer policy is surface level. Has to be primarily Spanish/Catalan or ex-academy for us to really push for it.
Madrid employ every trick in the book to lure star players/talents to run down their contracts with their respective clubs. In this instance, they would have used his childhood fandom to their advantage and tapped him up. Barca, on the other hand, haven't even shown the slightest of interest or explored his signing. And why would we..when we have the bestest attacking MF in the world. :titi:


@Messicito, can you tag MD and SPORT or have it trending on social media.

Logically, why would Barca spend so much on him when they just got Olmo for 60 mil?

Barca have many other positions they need to strengthen.

Because Lolmo is hospital fc and can't be trusted to deliver when it really matters. Wirtz isn't consistent either but he's younger, and has a higher celing, and is a Barca boy at heart.

Of course he does not meet an immediate need or is he financially viable for Barca in the current context. But had Barca shown interest and held talks with him, he'd be been receptive to staying at Bayer for another year, which would then make his signing feasible.

Olmo delivered pretty well at the euros, he'll be alright.

Inter setup is the worse we could face for a 10.

Wirtz isn't a player we need or needed, he would be luxury
