“Everyone knows I would love to see him at Bayern,”

“But I think the hype surrounding them is wrong. Under these pressures, they cannot develop as they should. I think it’s madness to compare Jamal with Maradona. This does young players no favours. There’s no doubt that they can get to that level. But I think it’s a huge mistake to put them under so much pressure now.”

It is a signal from the legendary Bavarians, with the club’s trading team expect to follow suit, but the timeframe is set to be mid-next year.

However, the competition is certainly not easy because in the past, Promotion ufabet there were reports that Real Madrid is ready to negotiate to acquire Wirtz to join the team in the middle of next year as well. 

This leaves the case up to the 21-year-old attacking midfielder, who is currently contract to Leverkusen until mid-2027.
