Bayern believe they have the edge over Liverpool
In the eyes of the newly crowned Bundesliga champions, Wirtz is a done deal, one way or another.
According to Christian Falk, writing for CF Bayern Insider: "The attacking midfielder had agreed on two potential pathways to Munich. One being an immediate transfer this summer (provided both clubs can agree a fee), and the second being a move delayed to next summer."

As such, the possibility that Wirtz could move to Anfield is completely foreign to their understanding.
He is destined to move to Bayern and the tradition of players moving from one German team to the most successful German team will remain. Everyone else is a feeder club for them.
But it's not quite as straightforward as that in reality, and Liverpool's expedited interest in Wirtz has properly thrown a spanner in the works. There is now an established two-horse race.
Falk adds: "Liverpool's decision makers, led by Michael Edwards, flew to Boston this week to meet Liverpool's owners, Fenway Sports Group, in order to approve the funds for the potential transfer.
"The meeting in the USA was called at short notice following the Wirtz family's visit. The Liverpool bosses' main aim is to snatch the midfielder away from FC Bayern."
