Liverpool Push Bayern as Wirtz Faces Transfer Decision

Liverpool move sparks Bayern concern

Liverpool have emerged as serious contenders for Florian Wirtz, with Kicker reporting that the Premier League side’s approach has disrupted Bayern Munich’s previously uncontested pursuit of the German star. Bayern had viewed Real Madrid as their only significant rival in the race, but that perception has changed rapidly in recent days.

According to the report, Wirtz’s family were recently in England for discussions, which were wrongly linked to Manchester City. In reality, the meeting was with Liverpool, who have impressed the player’s camp and outlined a bold vision that would see the 22-year-old as the creative hub of a new project under Arne Slot.

“Liverpool are said to have made a mighty impression, selecting the 22-year-old as the centre of a new team at Anfield,” the article states.

Anfield appeal adds pressure on Bayern

Bayern remain hopeful of landing Wirtz, but their optimism is tinged with unease. Liverpool are believed to be willing to push their financial limits to land the midfielder, with the fee expected to exceed €100 million. While such spending is described as “rather unusual for Liverpool,” the appeal of Anfield and the Premier League cannot be underestimated.

“Liverpool, like Bayern, are said to be going to the limit on this transfer,” Kicker reports.

Kompany presents Bayern’s case

Bayern manager Vincent Kompany has personally discussed Wirtz’s potential role in Munich in an effort to win him over. However, no decision has been made, and Bayern are operating without a fallback plan. “They hope. And if the answer is no, they will look to quickly extend with Leroy Sané,” Kicker adds.

Attention turns to Tah as well

In parallel, Bayern await an answer from centre-back Jonathan Tah, who remains on holiday. A free transfer has been proposed with either a four-year deal or three years plus an option. Barcelona have yet to pull out of the race, and should Tah accept, Bayern plan to include him in the squad for the upcoming Club World Cup.

For Liverpool supporters, this is the kind of story that ignites hope and anticipation.

The club’s proactive pursuit of Wirtz is not only a statement of intent, but also a signal that the Arne Slot era is being built with ambition. Targeting a 22-year-old who is already a central figure in the German national team and Bayer Leverkusen reflects the forward-thinking strategy fans want to see.

What’s particularly encouraging for fans is that Liverpool have reportedly “made a mighty impression” on Wirtz’s family. This matters. It shows that the club are presenting a clear, compelling project that appeals beyond finances. Wirtz is being courted to become the player that defines Liverpool’s new chapter, and that should excite everyone connected with Anfield.

There will be inevitable concerns about the price tag, especially given the club’s typically cautious spending. But with minimal recent transfer expenditure, this could be the time to take that leap. It is rare to find players of Wirtz’s age and quality genuinely available. If Liverpool are serious, now is the time to deliver.
