Falk: Slott promises Liverpool s No. 10 position to prompt players to reject Bayern

In addition to strengthening the No. 10 position, Bayern also has other key positions that need to be solved. However, it is undoubtedly painful to learn that Germany's most outstanding talented player is not necessarily joining the Bundesliga overlord.

For months, it has been widely believed that Bayern will win the battle for Leverkusen midfielder Wilz. After all, Manchester City has withdrawn from competition, citing that transaction costs may be too high. Meanwhile, Real Madrid doesn't seem ready to make a major move ahead of the 2026 summer transfer window. All of this was good for the Bundesliga title until Slott-led Liverpool made a convincing offer.

According to reporter Christian Falke, "A secret meeting was held in Munich on Sunday, May 18, and Werz was taken directly from the airport in a limousine to a hotel in the city center. From the underground parking lot, he was taken to the suite by an elevator. There, Werz was accompanied by coach Kompany, sports director Eber, sports director Christoph Freund, CEO Jan Christian Dresen, and members of the board of supervisors Karl Heinz Rummenig and Uli Henes The talks were held, and after the talks, Werz went on vacation. He thought about it for five days and finally declined Bayern's invitation and notified Kompany. Werz's father also called Eber and Heness. The decisive factor was that Slot promised him the Liverpool No. 10 position. And in Munich, he would have to share the position with Musiara. The conversation with the coach was decisive. "

It is now understood that Liverpool has submitted a offer of about 109 million pounds (130 million euros) for Werz. Once both sides agree on additional terms, the German international's transfer to Anfield is almost a foregone conclusion. It would be Liverpool's record transfer fee, easily exceeding the £85 million they had previously paid for Nunes. With Uruguayan Nunez leaving the team this summer, it is undoubtedly a welcome reality to see one of Europe's top geniuses becoming the club's bet.

Putting aside the fact that Liverpool broke Bayern's monopoly on top German players, the transfer fee of more than £100 million represents a major statement of intention. It was Slott's team sending a signal to Premier League rivals that they are interested in defending the championship. It is worth mentioning that the Reds have not achieved this feat since the 1983/84 season. In addition, it is also the strongest response to the disappointment that this year's Champions League final team Paris Saint-Germain defeated them in the round of 16 knockout matches.
