The all important part has been securing personal terms with the player, because only Wirtz will know which project he prefers. A move to remain in Germany and a move to live in England offer two very different prospects, although the specific finances could be met by either club.
But, it appears as though Arne Slot's vision has won over the 22-year-old and if that is the case, then Bayern didn't really have a chance. As Wirtz will find out, Liverpool is a club unlike any other.
Slot's 'crucial role' in bringing Wirtz on side
According to Fabrizio Romano, who has covered this story extensively, the Liverpool head coach was paramount in turning Wirtz's head towards the new Premier League winners.
In his latest report with Give Me Sport, he said: "Arne Slot had a crucial role in this story, as he spoke to Florian Wirtz personally to present the project and show his vision from a tactical point of view, but also a human one, as he considers Wirtz one of the best players in the world and still with a big potential - Slot pointed at the intention to win big titles together in the upcoming years."
As such, despite three months of feeling convinced that Wirtz would join, Bayern Munich were pipped at the back post by Slot, who was finally in a strong negotiating position since Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk had confirmed their contract extensions, solidifying the team set-up.
