Bayern looks to reignite interest in Wirtz ahead of Champions League final

Summary

Bayern Munich is considering reigniting their interest in Florian Wirtz as they aim for Champions League success at home. After failing to secure the title during the 2012 and 2025 finals, Bayern hopes their third attempt in 2028, with the final at the Allianz Arena, will be successful. Wirtz, who had a disappointing stint at Liverpool following a summer 2025 transfer, may become a priority if his performance does not improve. Additionally, Bayern is focused on extending contracts for key players Harry Kane and Michael Olise, with positive discussions ongoing for Kane.
