Bayern Munich ‘turn to England star with £68m release clause’ as they’re set to lose out on Wirtz transfer to Liverpool

Wirtz, 22, has reportedly told Bayern chiefs he is heading to Merseyside and the club are now set to pursue Eze.

The Crystal Palace and England midfielder has a release clause said to be worth £60m, plus £8m in add-ons.

Bayern are hopeful of getting a deal done as they have a good relationship with the Eagles after the clubs agreed a transfer for Michael Olise last summer.

Despite his release clause, Palace want to convince Eze to stay at Selhurst Park.

And they will stand firm with their price tag and not accept anything less than the release clause.

SunSport understand that both Manchester United and Aston Villa are keen on Eze but the fee may prove too costly for them.

Bayern are not thought to have an issue with the price as they were set to splash the cash on Wirtz.

But like Manchester City they put off the signing after discovering that the total cost of the move could total £252m.
