Bayern Munich could target Florian Wirtz
The report discusses a possible future move for Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz to Bayern Munich. Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for a reported £116 million in 2025, but his performances have not yet reached the level expected after his big-money transfer. The article says he scored five Premier League goals and provided four assists in his first season, while he has registered just one assist so far this campaign.
Bayern were strongly interested in Wirtz before Liverpool signed him. However, Christian Falk says there is nothing concrete between Bayern and Wirtz at present. Falk has also indicated that if Wirtz eventually wanted to return to the Bundesliga, Bayern would be one of the clubs he would consider.
💰 Could Bayern offer players in exchange?
Because Wirtz would still command a substantial transfer fee, the article speculates that Bayern could potentially consider a player-plus-cash deal rather than paying Liverpool’s entire valuation in cash.
Two Bayern players are highlighted as possible options:
🇬🇧 Harry Kane
Kane is mentioned because of his age and contract situation. The England striker turned 33 in July, and Bayern’s current official profile lists his contract as running until June 30, 2027.
The article suggests that, if Bayern ever made a serious attempt to sign Wirtz, Kane could theoretically be included to reduce the cash portion of the deal. It also points to his enormous goal output, with the report claiming he scored 73 goals for club and country last season.
🇨🇦 Alphonso Davies
The other possibility discussed is Davies. The Canadian left-back remains a Bayern player, although the article points to his injury history as a potential concern.
The report argues that Liverpool could potentially view Davies as an attractive option at left-back if a Wirtz deal ever became realistic. Bayern’s official profile confirms Davies remains contracted to the club until June 2030.
⚠️ But there is an important twist
Despite the headline, there is currently no confirmed Wirtz-to-Bayern transfer negotiation.
In a separate report published the same day, Christian Falk specifically said Bayern are not currently planning to sign Wirtz in January, describing him as too expensive. Falk also said he had heard nothing from Liverpool indicating that the club is prepared to sell Wirtz this winter.
Falk instead suggested that Wirtz could become a serious Bayern target in the future if Michael Olise’s situation changes. If Olise does not renew his Bayern contract and eventually leaves, Wirtz could become one of Bayern’s preferred attacking targets.
