Florian Wirtz Father Criticises Bayern President, Because.......

The simmering tension between Bayern Munich and the camp of German star Florian Wirtz has erupted into a high-stakes confrontation. Florian Wirtz father and agent, Hans Wirtz, reportedly made a "straightforward" phone call to Bayern Munich's honorary president, Uli Hoeness, demanding an end to his relentless public comments about the player's decision to join Liverpool.

The direct exchange came just days after Hoeness publicly criticised Liverpool's poor run of form and criticised Florian Wirtz, along with key players like Mo Salah and Szoboszlai, as quoted by several publications, including This is Anfield.

Florian Wirtz Father Phone Call

According to information posted by the X account BayernSpace, which detailed the private conversation, sources close to the Wirtz family revealed that Florian Wirtz father, Hans Wirtz, made it clear to Uli Hoeness that the "constant public comments" were "unacceptable" and that the "ongoing noise from Munich is neither respectful nor constructive."

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder – who had been a primary transfer target for Bayern Munich for over a year – eventually chose the Premier League giants Liverpool, a decision which clearly still rankles the German powerhouse.

The central point of the conversation, conveyed firmly but without aggression, was that Bayern Munich needed to finally accept Florian Wirtz choice to join the Reds & stop mentioning him in interviews. Those close to the Wirtz family believe that such public comments have gone too far and are frankly embarrassing for a club of Bayern's standing, suggesting the team is still struggling to deal with the rejection from a key German transfer target.

Florian Wirtz Thrilled with Liverpool Role

Challenging Hoeness' claim that the player is struggling, Florian Wirtz father, Hans Wirtz, stressed that the player is happy at Liverpool. He highlighted his strong performance in the recent 2-0 victory against West Ham.

Since landing at Anfield as one of the most expensive Liverpool transfers ever, Wirtz has demonstrated flashes of world-class talent, though how he would adjust to the physicality & intensity of the Premier League has remained a hot topic. He has provided two assists in the UCL so far, but he has yet to score or create goals for the Reds in the Premier League across 12 outings, perpetuating talk of a hard adjustment, which Hoeness pounced on.
