Florian Wirtz has been linked with a potential exit from Liverpool, just over one year on from his huge $157 million switch from Bayer Leverkusen last summer.<\/p>\n
The German playmaker was viewed as an option who could help take the team’s attack to another level, having shown in the Bundesliga that he can create plenty for his teammates to work from, while he has the potential to grow further.<\/p>\n
So far, however, the transition to the Premier League<\/a> has been a tough one. The 23-year-old<\/a> managed just seven goals and 10 assists across all competitions<\/a> last season, as games appeared to pass him by more often than not.<\/p>\n There were promising signs, particularly around the New Year, when he went on a run of six goal involvements in eight appearances in the Premier League, but that fizzled out after a short injury layoff.<\/p>\n After taking that time to settle into the new league, there has been some hope that Wirtz<\/a> can start to show more of the quality and presence that was expected when he joined.<\/p>\n However, so far, the midfielder has yet to score and has just one assist to his name in five games across all competitions, leading to questions about whether he will be able to make it with the Reds<\/a> moving forward.<\/p>\n Florian Wirtz has come in for criticism from some quarters(Image: Getty)<\/p>\n While there is still time for Wirtz to make himself a star at Anfield, teams appear to be looking at the possibility of a move already, should he leave the club.<\/p>\n TeamTalk<\/a> reports that Bayern Munich<\/a> is keeping a close eye on Wirtz’s situation, with the long-standing interest from the Bavarian outfit remaining intact over a year on from trying to land him.<\/p>\n The report claims that Bayern continue to admire Wirtz, who is facing some internal questions from Liverpool chiefs about his ability to provide the quality needed, but a move will only come about if the Merseyside outfit considers an exit.<\/p>\n As it stands, the Reds are not pushing for an exit, with Andoni Iraola<\/a> being given a chance to work with the German playmaker, but that is not to rule out a potential move in the next year.<\/p>\n It remains to be seen whether there could be a bigger push for a transfer by the time the summer 2027 transfer window rolls around, but for now, there is time for Wirtz to turn things around.<\/p>\n![\"Florian](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0_GettyImages-2294460126.jpg\")
