  WHAT HAPPENED?

  According to BILD, Bayern Munich are set to introduce extreme cost-cutting measures in an effort to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen this summer. Employees will no longer receive their annual inflation adjustment payment. "Money is needed to sign Florian Wirtz," the report states. In addition, the record champions have imposed a hiring freeze.

  WHAT'S NEXT?

  All other players would apparently be allowed to leave if a suitable offer came along. This is the only way transfers of the calibre of Wirtz would be possible for Bayern. It has been known for some time that Munich's fixed-term deposit account is no longer as well-stocked as it was in the past.
