Bayern Dismisses Florian Wirtz Transfer Rumors as Speculation Persists

Uli Hoeneß labels reports of an imminent move as premature, while Bayer Leverkusen remains confident in retaining the 21-year-old under contract until 2027.

Overview

  • Bayern Munich's honorary president Uli Hoeneß confirmed a meeting with Florian Wirtz's father at Tegernsee but dismissed transfer rumors as 'unseriös' and 'Hokuspokus.'
  • The meeting, reportedly held in early March, coincided with the Champions League match between Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen.
  • Hoeneß emphasized that Bayer Leverkusen holds contractual control over Wirtz, whose current deal extends until 2027, making any transfer contingent on their decision.
  • Bayer Leverkusen executives have met twice with Wirtz's parents since late March to discuss a potential contract extension.
  • Bayer CEO Fernando Carro stated there is a 'very high probability' that Wirtz will remain with the club beyond the current season, countering ongoing speculation.
