Bayern Munich eyes Florian Wirtz's Liverpool exit

Florian Wirtz, 23, has not yet established himself at Liverpool and may leave the club, with Bayern Munich watching the situation. According to the newspaper Football Insider, the German club has already shown interest after missing out on the deal in the summer market of the 2025/26 season, when Liverpool made an offer of around 135 million euros.

Wirtz's adaptation difficulties

Since his arrival at Anfield, Wirtz has struggled to adapt, limiting himself to moments of brilliance. Liverpool has shown willingness to hear proposals for the German international, but manager Andoni Iraola believes he can still extract the best performance from the player. The lack of consistency has raised doubts among the fan base.

Bayern Munich has maintained interest in the attacking midfielder, after missing out on the signing in the summer market of the 2025/26 season, when Liverpool made an offer valued at around 135 million euros. According to the same source, Wirtz is interested in a move to the German emblem, should both clubs reach an agreement. Bayern's interest remains active despite the earlier setback.

Despite Liverpool's openness to receive proposals, the club does not plan to facilitate a departure in January, as Iraola continues to believe in the ability to improve Wirtz's performance in the near future. Iraola insists that patience can bear fruit, keeping Wirtz in the squad until the end of the season.

Klopp could be the key

The second part of the story highlights that Jürgen Klopp could still do a great favor for Liverpool, helping Wirtz regain confidence. The German international, who joined the club after shining at Bayer Leverkusen, is about to play under Klopp's guidance in the German national team during the international break, which could provide two weeks of intensive training. Moreover, the international period offers the opportunity to train under Klopp's philosophy, which emphasizes managing player pressure.

James Pearce, writing for The Athletic, stated: “Liverpool will be hoping that the Klopp effect rubs off on Florian Wirtz during this international break.” Pearce added that Klopp is no stranger to helping high‑profile stars deal with relentless criticism, drawing parallels with Trent Alexander‑Arnold. Pearce suggests that Klopp's mindset could be decisive in changing Liverpool fans' perception of Wirtz.

With the transfer window still open, Liverpool remains attentive to proposals, while Bayern Munich awaits a possible agreement that satisfies both parties. Any decision will depend on the negotiations between the clubs and the assessment of Wirtz's performance in upcoming games.
