FC Bayern's Unsuccessful Bid for Florian Wirtz
A high-profile meeting with Bayern Munich's officials, including Vincent Kompany and key figures like Max Eberl, Christoph Freund, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Uli Hoeneß, and Jan-Christian Dreesen, took place in Munich on the day of Bayern’s championship celebration. Despite the meeting, Florian Wirtz, the young Leverkusen star, reportedly "politely rejected" Bayern's offer to join the club.
The encounter, kept away from the public eye, resulted from the German champions' pursuit of Wirtz. However, a few days later, Wirtz communicated his decision to Bayern coach Kompany, while Wirtz's father spoke with Eberl and Hoeneß. The offensive talent is said to have chosen FC Liverpool over Bayern.
During the initial conversation on May 18, Kompany and Wirtz are said to have had a one-hour tactical discussion. However, Wirtz declined the offer due to concerns about a position battle with Jamal Musiala, who also prefers the position in central offensive midfield at Bayern.
Reports suggest that Liverpool, Manchester City, and Real Madrid have remained strong contenders for Wirtz, with Liverpool demonstrating "concrete interest." Leverkusen reportedly is seeking a transfer fee of around 150 million euros for an early change.

The Commission, amidst the football frenzy, was asked to prepare a proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment in Europe, given the concern for sustainability in sports and the impact of premier leagues like the European and the German ones. Meanwhile, FC Bayern's unsuccessful bid for Florian Wirtz, the Leverkusen star, is still a topic of discussion in Munich, with Liverpool now iffy favorites for his signature.
