Premier League
Bayern Munich remains interested in attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, 23 years old. However, they are not considering initiating informal or formal negotiations with Liverpool. The German could be the future star signing of Bayern Munich.
As confirmed by journalist Christian Falk in Bild on September 17, 2026, the Munich board is not actively working on a short-term agreement due to Liverpool's refusal to transfer the German international following his arrival in 2025.
Kompany's system hinders Bayern Munich's move
The sports planning led by coach Vincent Kompany supports the current structure of the Bayern Munich squad. Jamal Musiala's long-term contract and Michael Olise's performance as the playmaker in the central zone meet the tactical needs that acquiring the former Bayer Leverkusen attacker would require.
Although the Bavarian entity showcased its financial capacity by spending 100 million euros (86.4 million pounds) on Harry Kane in 2023, the Bayern Munich leadership will only engage in negotiations if the player formally expresses his desire to return to the Bundesliga.
Florian Wirtz's physical stats and Liverpool's stance
The 23-year-old midfielder's performance in the Premier League 2026-2027 season shows a higher physical workload compared to his midfield peers. Data from Fotmob indicates that Wirtz averages 12 kilometers covered every 90 minutes, surpassing the figures of Ryan Gravenberch (10.9 km), Dominik Szoboszlai (11.1 km), and Alexis Mac Allister (11.1 km).
Despite the debate in England regarding his role in the tactical system, the Liverpool board has no intention of selling the player for whom they made a significant financial investment a year ago, keeping his contract without an immediate release clause.
Bayern Munich's scouting department will continue the analytical monitoring of the player's matches in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League during the 2026-2027 season. If the situation of the German international changes by the end of this season, Bayern Munich will evaluate initiating initial talks with Liverpool executives in the summer market of 2027.
