Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer said Germany international Florian Wirtz is not a transfer topic for the club at present. Asked whether Bayern are still keeping tabs on Wirtz's situation at Anfield, Hainer spoke about the Liverpool player and Bayern's current squad.
Hainer's position on Bayern
Hainer said: "Florian Wirtz is an exceptional player. I almost feel a bit sorry for him, because he has not yet shown in England the level he was at in Leverkusen, because we also need him in the German national team."
Hainer said: "But we have a very high-quality squad, and we are extremely happy with it. And so this is not a topic on the table for us at the moment."
GOAL's account of the move
GOAL says Wirtz left Bayer Leverkusen for Liverpool in June 2025 in a £100 million deal, rising to £116 million with add-ons.
GOAL says Wirtz picked Liverpool over Bayern, who had chased him for years, with Manchester City also circling. GOAL says Wirtz's reasoning was that he wanted a new experience outside the German league.
GOAL's Liverpool numbers
GOAL says that according to LFChistory, across his debut 2025-26 campaign, Wirtz made 49 appearances in all competitions, scored 7 goals and set up 8 more.
GOAL says Wirtz's first goal for Liverpool came on 27 December 2025 against Wolverhampton. GOAL says this season Wirtz has 8 games and no goals, with 2 assists the return so far.
