UEFA Champions League
Liverpool has decided to close the exit door for Florian Wirtz, despite the German not performing at the expected level since arriving at Anfield, amid interest from several clubs in his signing.
As reported by Football Insider on September 21, 2026, the Anfield board will not negotiate the transfer of the German international from Bayer Leverkusen, dismissing any proposal that Bayern Munich may present.

The backing of Andoni Iraola for Florian Wirtz at Liverpool
Despite the 23-year-old midfielder not finding consistency in his early months in the Premier League, coach Andoni Iraola maintains confidence in the player to solidify the team's tactical setup. The Basque coach considers the player a key piece for offensive rotation during the 2026-2027 season.
The club's management at Liverpool is aware of inquiries from the Bundesliga aiming to bring back the attacking midfielder to Germany in the January window. However, the player has expressed his intention to stay in England to secure a spot in the starting eleven.
Bayern Munich's stance and timelines at Anfield
Bayern Munich continues to monitor the former Bayer Leverkusen player's progress with the intention of making a formal offer early next year. Despite expecting financial offers in January 2027, Liverpool's institutional position remains steadfast in not transferring the player.
Wirtz's circle is working on adapting his performances to the pace of English competition, ruling out a short-term loan or sale after the investment made for his contract in the previous summer market. Liverpool's sports commission will inform Bayern Munich's intermediaries of the refusal to engage in contract discussions before the market opens.
Iraola's coaching staff will continue their efforts to bring out the best in Florian Wirtz, who is valued as the club's main asset for the future. Will we see the German's best performance at Anfield?
