Bayern Munich Monitoring Florian Wirtz as Liverpool Concerns Grow
Bayern Munich are reportedly keeping a close eye on Florian Wirtz as concerns continue to grow over the Liverpool midfielder’s difficult start at Anfield.
The Germany international arrived from Bayer Leverkusen for a reported £116 million after establishing himself as one of Europe’s most exciting young talents. However, Wirtz has so far struggled to reproduce the form that made him such a highly sought-after player.
According to reports from TEAMtalk, Bayern remain admirers of the 23-year-old and could consider making a move if Liverpool eventually decide that his situation is no longer working.
Could Bayern offer Wirtz a fresh start?
A return to the Bundesliga could potentially help Wirtz rediscover his confidence and best form. Bayern may also have a system that allows the attacking midfielder to play in a way that suits his strengths.
However, any move would represent a major gamble given his significant drop in performances since arriving in England.
Liverpool will now be hoping that Wirtz can turn things around before questions about his long-term future at the club become even louder.
Wirtz struggling to make an impact
Wirtz has recorded no goals and just one assist in his opening four Premier League appearances this season.
His latest performance against Fulham was another frustrating outing, with the midfielder managing only three shots, failing to complete a dribble and finishing the game with an 83% pass-completion rate.
With Liverpool yet to see the consistent impact expected from such an expensive signing, the pressure on Wirtz is beginning to increase.
The coming months could prove crucial, with Liverpool facing an important decision over whether to continue building around the German star or consider alternatives if his form fails to improve.
