Like any good story (or maybe good horror story in this case), it must come to an end. The Bayern Munich [https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/] transfer saga with Florian Wirtz is over as the club lost to Liverpool [https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/], so now it is time to eulogize it and put it out of its misery with one last show. This is what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show: * Some final takes on why it was such a big deal that Bayern Munich missed on Florian Wirtz — and why losing to him to Liverpool was a massive failure. * A conversation with BPW staffer Jack Laushway, who say down with Florian Wirtz (and other members of Bayer Leverkusen) ahead of the 2023/24 campaign. Let’s talk about what he learned about the star attacking midfielder. * Why Bayern Munich should go get VfB Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade if it really likes him that much — and how the Bavarians can make it work even with the presence of Harry Kane this season.
