According to a report from TEAMtalk journalist Graeme Bailey, if Florian Wirtz’s tough run at Liverpool continues, Bayern Munich will be ready to jump on making a move for the Germany international:
Bayern Munich are keeping close tabs on Florian Wirtz’s situation at Liverpool, with sources telling TEAMtalk that their long-standing admiration for the Germany international has not wavered.
Bayern were serious admirers of Wirtz before his move to Anfield and remain firmly interested in his situation,
although they were priced out of the battle to sign him when Liverpool agreed a £116million deal for the midfielder in 2025.
Wirtz is one of the players who is under fire at Liverpool for the team’s tough start. After a very uneven first season in England, things have not gotten much better for the former Bayern Leverkusen star, who has just one assist so far this season.
Per Bailey, there is growing doubt inside of Liverpool that Wirtz will live up to his lofty potential:
However, TEAMtalk understands there are some within Liverpool who have concerns over whether Wirtz can reach the extraordinary levels expected of him when the club committed £116m to his signing. Those concerns do not mean Liverpool have decided to move the midfielder on, nor is there currently any suggestion that the club are actively looking to sell him. Instead, the expectation is that Iraola will be given the season to work with Wirtz and demonstrate that the German can become a cornerstone of the new Liverpool project.
All that said, Bailey is reporting that Bayern Munich is ready to jump at the chance to get Wirtz, should he eventually become available:
But TEAMtalk can reveal Bayern remain firmly in the picture and are continuing to monitor developments closely. Their admiration for Wirtz has not diminished despite his difficult first season in England, and the Bundesliga giants are well aware that his situation could become more interesting if he fails to reach the levels Liverpool expect during the current campaign.
The German club continue to regard Wirtz as a player of exceptional ability and remain attentive to how his relationship with Liverpool and Iraola develops over the coming months. But TEAMtalk understands his position will be revisited at the end of the season if the expected improvement does not materialise.
If Wirtz establishes himself as the player Liverpool believed they were signing, Bayern’s interest may ultimately remain just that. But should doubts over his suitability or his ability to reach the required level persist, the German champions will be among the clubs watching closely.
If he becomes available next summer, should Bayern Munich consider a move for Wirtz?
