The CEO of Bayern Munich, Jan Christian Dreesen, spoke about the news regarding the German star Florian Wirtz, a Bayer Leverkusen player, rejecting the opportunity to play for the club and preferring to join Liverpool.

Dreesen said: "A lot has been written about this, but Bayern Munich is one of the best clubs in Europe and the world. Our appeal is immense among fans, as well as among players."

He continued: "In truth, not all players will join us; it is simply part of the game; the same applies to other major clubs."

He added: "Everyone knows: with Bayern Munich, you can win everything every year; you participate in all competitions - and the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup is a perfect example of that."

He concluded: "Our appeal, sporting ambitions, and economic strength are well known to all top players around the world."
