Liverpool are showing serious interest in Paul Wanner. The transfer information regarding the Austrian midfielder from PSV has been confirmed by a second independent source. Manchester United are also in the race for the 20-year-old talent.
The first to report interest in the player was Bild journalist Christian Falk on September 16. In his statement for CFBayernInsider, he clarified the situation surrounding the young footballer.
It is not true that Bayern are eager to bring Paul Wanner back to Munich. Bayern let him go. They always have the chance to bring a player back, but at the moment the squad is fully stocked in that position, Falk noted.
The journalist confirmed that other clubs are indeed keeping an eye on the talented midfielder.
Liverpool are among the clubs monitoring him. Negotiations have been ongoing. However, he is still young at 20 and needs to prove he is good enough to play for a top club.
Falk added that Wanner himself is not currently thinking about a move to the Premier League.
I’ve heard that Wanner's focus is 100% on PSV. He is determined to prove he is the best in his position in the Eredivisie. This will certainly attract attention from top clubs. As of now, the Bayern topic is not relevant.
Wanner is a product of Bayern’s academy. He made eight appearances for the first team in Munich and gained experience on loan at Elversberg and Heidenheim.
In the summer of 2025, the Austrian made the switch from Bayern to PSV, where his career skyrocketed. Last season, Wanner netted five goals and provided four assists in 33 matches across all competitions. His versatility has been remarkable, playing as a central, attacking, and deep midfielder, as well as regularly occupying the right winger and centre-forward roles. He also helped PSV clinch the Eredivisie title.
So far this season, Wanner has recorded two assists in nine matches, with manager Peter Bosz primarily deploying him in central midfield.
On The Minute has fully confirmed Falk’s information about Liverpool's interest. According to their reports, PSV are valuing their player at €50 million (£42 million). In addition to Liverpool and Manchester United, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are closely monitoring the situation.
Journalists highlight Wanner's strengths; he is a left-footed attacking midfielder who excels in creating plays between the lines and is innovative in the final third. It’s this playing style, rather than just his tender age, that is attracting the attention of Europe’s top clubs.
