Florian Wirtz undergoes his Liverpool medical(Image: LFC TV)

Bayern Munich have not responded well to missing out on Florian Wirtz to Liverpool.

The German giants may be used to getting their own way in the transfer target, having landed the best of Bundesliga talent for years, such is their domination of the league.

And yet Wirtz was convinced by the project presented by Arne Slot and Richard Hughes, instead choosing to join Liverpool in what could become a British record £116m.

Bayern have since moved on to 23-year-old Germany Under-21 forward Nick Woltemade and are believed to have a verbal agreement with the Stuttgart man.

But with a potential pricetag of between £68-88m, Bayern sporting director Max Eberl has admitted that Bayern must negotiate with Stuttgart to find a more acceptable fee.

That led to Bayern legend Lothar Matthaus to claim that Bayern's £50m valuable of Woltemade was "too low", an assertion that led to Bayern president claiming the former Germany midfielder had "lost his mind".

He said: "Lothar Matthäus has clearly lost his mind.

Ultimately, the club will look like the loser if the transfer fee comes in lower."

Matthaus issued a furious response to the Hoeness, saying Hoeness "lives in his own world" and claiming that the fee Liverpool paid for Wirtz proves his point about Bayern's stance towards Woltemade.

He told Bild: "First of all, I have to say that I’m used to Uli Hoeness' insults and I don’t take them seriously anymore.

When I think of Jamal Musiala: Bayern would want much more for him than, for example, Wirtz cost.

These are the problems Hoeneß should be addressing.”

Indeed, Matthaus is clearly a big fan of Wirtz and was surprised that the 22-year-old chose to leave the Bundesliga this summer, but he has backed the forward to have a big impact in the Premier League.

"Personally, I also thought Florian would want to stay in Germany for the next few years.

Florian Wirtz believes in himself 100 per cent – and rightly so: I have absolute confidence in him that he'll make it at Liverpool and in the Premier League.

"He doesn't have to hide from anyone.
