“Liverpool’s Upper Hand Over Bayern in the Florian Wirtz Chase”
“Why Liverpool Edge Bayern Munich in the Pursuit of Florian Wirtz”
Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz has emerged as one of the most sought-after talents in football, attracting interest from Liverpool, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich.
The 22-year-old Germany international has been in outstanding form for the Bundesliga side, recording 16 goals and 15 assists across 44 appearances in all competitions this season. Pep Guardiola is reportedly making efforts to lure the midfielder to Manchester City, while Bayern Munich is also keen to secure his services.
However, Liverpool may hold a crucial edge in the race to sign Wirtz. Reports from Anfield Watch suggest that Bayern Munich would need to sell players to finance a deal for the talented playmaker. In contrast, Liverpool is in a more stable financial position and could complete the signing without offloading any of their current squad.
Speaking to Anfield Watch, Bundesliga expert Ronan Murphy highlighted Liverpool’s financial advantage:
“While Bayern Munich is a logical destination for Wirtz, their financial constraints may prove a significant hurdle. They might need to sell key players like Kingsley Coman or others to balance the books. Liverpool, on the other hand, could afford him outright, giving them a clear advantage.”
With his immense talent and rising value, Wirtz is set to be at the center of a high-stakes transfer battle this summer.

Liverpool have exercised prudence in recent transfer windows, making strategic and limited acquisitions. Last summer, they secured Federico Chiesa at a bargain price, exemplifying their careful approach.
Despite their restrained spending, the Reds have maintained strong performances on the pitch, as evidenced by their success under Arne Slot this season. Adding a player like Florian Wirtz to the squad could take the team to new heights, offering a dynamic talent capable of scoring, creating opportunities, and bringing an X-factor—a quality the team currently lacks, aside from Mohamed Salah.
