Eberl: Wirtz is worthy of Bayern s huge investment, and the price offered to Walter Mader has reached the upper limit

Bayern director Eberl talked about the team's failure to sign Wirtz and Walter Mader this summer in an interview with German media 11Freunde.

Talking about Wirtz

"For him, everyone thinks that we want to bring him to Bayern. Naturally, the whole club has tried its best to convince this player, hoping that he can help the team win more championships with Musiala in the next ten years. But of course we have also evaluated the highest level of our offer. We know we can afford his salary, but we are not sure how much Leverkusen will ask for, especially when another top club joins the competition. Therefore, we have reached a consensus to set up a special fund for Wirtz's transfer, and he is fully worthy of our investment."

What about Walter Mader? Why are Bayern unwilling to pay a high price for him?

"Every investment must be worth it in the long term. We set a cap for Waltermade's transfer fee and reached this limit in the offer to Stuttgart. This situation is very common in transfers and sometimes becomes the reason for the breakdown of the deal. However, Waltermade is still a very good player and a good person in our opinion. He is a different type of player from Wirtz. But in the end, we decided to stick to our budget strategy."
