While Bayern Munich had been competing with Liverpool for Wirtz's signature, it appears that Liverpool are now close to finalizing a deal for the player. The reported transfer fee for Wirtz is around €120 million.

Interestingly, some have suggested that Bayern Munich's contract offer to Wirtz was more attractive than Liverpool's. However, when asked about the situation, Eberl stated that he is unsure if Bayern Munich could have matched Liverpool's reported offer.

"If I'm being honest, I don't know if we could have paid what Liverpool are apparently paying now," Eberl said. He also expressed his admiration for Wirtz as a player, stating that Bayern Munich could have imagined signing him. However, Eberl noted that when opportunities close, new ones often arise.

Despite losing out on Wirtz, Bayern Munich will likely continue to pursue other transfer targets to strengthen their team.
