Since winning the sextuple in 2020 under Hansi Flick, Bayern Munich has struggled to compete deep into both the UEFA Champions League and DFB-Pokal. The starting XI has shown the ability to beat any team, but the lack of quality depth has been a thorn in Bayern’s side.
There have been some revelations in the academy, like Jamal Musiala and Aleksandar Pavlović. Due to Musiala’s devastating injury in the FIFA Club World Cup loss to Paris-Saint Germain, Bayern has decided to hold on to a key academy prodigy
this summer.
According to Kicker (via @iMiaSanMia), [Hamburger SV] have expressed their interest in signing Paul Wanner. Bayern are currently not planning to loan Wanner out after Musiala’s injury, but that could change in case of new signings. If the door opens, Hamburg have made it clear that they want the player.
Wanner is the most talented player on Germany’s U21 squad. Last season, the 19-year old midfielder earned big minutes on loan with Heidenheim. In May, he delivered a game-winning assist in stoppage time over Elversberg. The assist ensured that Heidenheim would remain in the top flight for the 2025/26 campaign.
With no true replacement to Musiala at the number 10 position, Wanner has an invaluable chance to stake his claim to a spot in the starting XI.
