Interestingly, it's been suggested Bayern's contract offer to Wirtz is superior to Liverpool's.
"If I'm honest, I don't know if we could have paid what Liverpool are apparently paying now," Eberl told Sky Deutschland.
"Florian Wirtz is an outstanding player. We could have imagined signing him. But when a door closes, another opens."
