Paul Wanner’s PSV Breakthrough Sets Up Bayern Reunion Next Week

The 20-year-old has flourished in a deeper midfield role under Peter Bosz following a €15 million move from Bayern to Eindhoven in 2025.

Overview

  • PSV Eindhoven hosts Bayern Munich in the Champions League on January 28, the final matchday of the league phase.
  • Wanner called it “not an everyday game” and said PSV “want to annoy Bayern and try to beat them at home.”
  • After missing preseason with an ankle ligament issue and seeing limited minutes, the 20-year-old has started regularly since late November in a deeper midfield role.
  • He has scored in recent outings, including against Excelsior and Fortuna Sittard where he was named Star of the Match, and earned praise from coach Peter Bosz for his composure as a No. 6.
  • Wanner joined PSV from Bayern in 2025 for a reported €15 million, is under contract until 2030, and Bayern kept an undisclosed buy-back option.
