After missing out on Liverpool new boy Florian Wirtz, Bayern Munich need to step into the real world when it comes to transfers.

Their use of the media over the past 12 months to try and strong-arm a deal out of Bayer and lower the price didn't sit well with the Wirtz family, for whom a final meeting with Bayern bosses - including head coach Vincent Kompany - was the last straw.

When a lack of clarity over his role in the team was presented, it was a stark contrast to what Liverpool boss Arne Slot showed, and added to their unhappiness' at Bayern's public proclamations across the previous year, Wirtz elected to move to the Premier League and Anfield.

Bayern for so long felt the player was in the bag, but got things very, very wrong.

Now, they're trying to tread a similar path to land Stuttgart hotshot Nick Woltemade.

He declared Hoeness "lives in his own world" and used Bayern's failure to land Wirtz - and the £116m fee Liverpool could eventually pay - to make his point.

"I have to say that I’m used to Uli Hoeness' insults and I don’t take them seriously anymore.

"I predicted for Florian Wirtz many months ago that the total package would amount to €250m – and that’s what happened.

So why can’t Wirtz cost €150m or Woltemade €80-100m?

"Uli Hoeness lives in his own world.
