Florian Wirtz: These 6 people will decide on his move

Who will decide on the Wirtz transfer? Hans-Joachim Wirtz

Hans-Joachim Wirtz and Karin Groß, Florian's parents, play an unusually influential role: They represent their son as advisors. The family is pursuing a consistent and cautious career plan, which has paid off so far. A move to a club like FC Bayern would only be considered if it seemed like a sensible next step. Their approval is therefore essential for any transfer decision. Hans-Joachim Wirtz, in particular, is considered a fan of a Bayern transfer. He is said to have met with Uli Hoeneß several times. 

Who will decide on the Wirtz transfer? Max Eberl 

Max Eberl has been FC Bayern's sporting director since the beginning of 2024 and is largely responsible for strategic squad planning. With his extensive experience at Borussia Mönchengladbach and RB Leipzig, Eberl is considered a transfer architect with a keen eye for detail. Wirtz would be a typical Eberl signing: young, German, with potential for development—and with high resale value. However, Eberl's work at FCB is not without controversy. With the Wirtz transfer, he could secure his first mega-deal and strengthen his own position.
