Bayern Munich monitors Wirtz as Liverpool star adapts to Premier League

Bayern Munich is closely monitoring Florian Wirtz's situation at Liverpool, where the German midfielder has struggled to adapt since his club-record move in the summer of 2025. The Bundesliga giant's interest has been reignited by the player's ongoing difficulties in the Premier League, though Liverpool intends to give him the full season to improve under manager Andoni Iraola. Wirtz, 23, joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for a reported fee of 116 million pounds, making him the most expensive signing in the club's history. His first full season in 2025-26 produced five goals and three assists across 33 Premier League appearances. The current 2026-27 campaign has started even more slowly, with the midfielder recording one assist and no goals in his first five matches across all competitions. According to reports, some key figures within Liverpool have concerns about whether Wirtz can reach the expected performance levels. However, the club does not intend to part ways with the player, who is under contract through 2030. Liverpool's plan is to give Iraola the entire 2026-27 season to integrate Wirtz into his system before reassessing the situation at the end of the campaign.
