Wirtz stays in Leverkusen: Bayern transfer burst-switch to Liverpool?

Leverkusen, Deutschland - In a significant turn in the football transfer market Weser Kurier Bayern Munich will change. The President of FC Bayern, Herbert Hainer, confirmed this today. The reason for the cancellation is that Wirtz, who is bound to Bayer Leverkusen by summer 2027, tends towards Liverpool.

Max Eberl, the sports director of Bavaria, said Hainer that Wirtz had already held talks with the Liverpool coach, Arne Slot. This shows the clear interest of the English club to sign Wirtz, who has had an outstanding season. Although the desired transfer fee of 150 million euros, which Bayer Leverkusen demands for the player, was a challenge, but an agreement with Wirtz itself could be progressive.

Wirtz ’impressive achievements

The 22-year-old made a decisive contribution to Bayer Leverkusen's title in the Bundesliga last season and achieved 18 goals and 20 assists in 49 missions. According to New York Times , Wirtz was even elected to the Bundesliga player of the season for his remarkable performance. He was also able to refer to 16 goals and 15 assists in 45 games in the current season, while Leverkusen got second place in the Bundesliga.

Wirtz has commented in an interview and expressed the desire to leave his comfort zone and gain new experiences. He has already visited the northwest of England to explore potential living opportunities for a move to Liverpool. This increases the assumption that a move to Liverpool could be imminent, although a final agreement with Leverkusen is still pending. Wirtz 'strong statistics in the Bundesliga speak for themselves, with a total of 21 goals and 23 assists since the beginning of last season.

The relevance for Bayern Munich

The rejection of Wirtz ’is disappointing for Bayern Munich because they hoped to initiate a new era in the club with him and Jamal Musiala. Bayern now have to rethink their transfer strategy for the coming summer because they are looking for high -quality reinforcements to pass the competition in the Bundesliga and at European level.

for Liverpool Wirtz could be a valuable enrichment. The current offensive midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has so far not been able to show all typical properties for this position, while Wirtz is known for its versatility and commitment. His possible obligation could reduce the need for a top striker and strengthen Liverpool in the future, especially since the experienced player Mohamed Salah approaches the end of his career.
