Florian Wirtz rejects Bayern – move to Liverpool is guaranteed!
Florian Wirtz, the 22-year-old talent from Bayer Leverkusen, has decided not to move to Bayern Munich. This decision came as a surprise after the transfer to Bayern was considered likely. Instead, Wirtz is expected to move to Liverpool, which has been pushed by several top international clubs, particularly Liverpool. Journalist Sacha Tavolieri confirmed that Wirtz has already communicated his decision to go to Liverpool to those responsible at FC Bayern. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also supports this information. Bayer Leverkusen appear to see Liverpool as a preferred buyer for Wirtz, with the club willing to pay the €150m asking price to sign the player.
The signs point to change, as Wirtz has already visited the north-western part of England to look for housing options. According to reports, his move to Liverpool is realistic if he leaves Bayer Leverkusen this summer. His impressive performances last season, in which he played a key role in Leverkusen winning the Bundesliga with 18 goals and 20 assists in 49 appearances, make him a sought-after player in the transfer market. Wirtz was also named Bundesliga Player of the Season and played an important role in the 2023-24 season, leading Leverkusen to an undefeated Domestic Champion.
Key stats and achievements
Wirtz played a total of 45 games last season and scored 16 goals and 15 assists, which underlines his outstanding form. He is known for his technical finesse, his ball control and his versatility, which allow him to operate in different positions in the attack. These qualities could help Liverpool, especially since current player Dominik Szoboszlai still shows room for improvement in the game as an attacking midfielder.

Wirtz has earned 29 caps for Germany in his career and was part of the UEFA Euro 2024 squad. His decision to leave his comfort zone at Leverkusen to experience something new shows the character of a young player ready to take on challenges and play in one of the most competitive leagues in the world.
Future outlook
Liverpool would still have to negotiate a contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2027, but there are reports of Wirtz's strong preference for the English club. The upheaval in Liverpool's team could make it easier to sign Wirtz in the near future. The transfer would not only strengthen Liverpool's attack, but also enrich the squad with a player who has the potential to become one of the best players of his year.
