Bayern Munich chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen has taken a thinly-veiled swipe at Liverpool following the German club's failure to secure Florian Wirtz's signature ahead of the Premier League champions this summer. Bayern were left frustrated after losing out on the playmaker, and have launched several barbs at both player and club in the months since missing out on Wirtz's services.

Dreesen appears to have taken another veiled shot whilst insisting Bayern 'can afford any transfer' and suggesting such expenditure contradicts the club's 'DNA'.

That's not FC Bayern's DNA. "Liverpool has €200m, while FC Barcelona and Real Madrid each have €160m." This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
