Why Wirtz chose Liverpool over Bayern

Wirtz said no to Bayern Munich because he wanted to try his hand at the Premier League with Liverpool.

According to Kicker, many factors led to this decision, most notably the way Bayern's leadership publicly mentioned Wirtz in the media over the past several months. This made the young German player feel uncomfortable.

He felt that he was under quite unreasonable pressure from the public. The unwanted attention from the media forced Wirtz to limit his contact with the press.

The last time he gave an interview or appeared in the press box after a match was in the early weeks of this Bundesliga season. The young German football talent has never enjoyed being the center of the media spotlight.

Another important factor was Wirtz's contacts with Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany. During the discussions, Kompany was unable to present a clear tactical plan or identify a specific position the coach wanted Wirtz to play in the squad.

Bayern insiders also revealed that Wirtz left the meeting with Kompany in Munich in a confused mood. In contrast, when in contact with Liverpool coach Arne Slot, Wirtz clearly saw his position and role at Anfield if he arrived.

Slot also made a strong impression on Wirtz thanks to his clear vision and thorough preparation of the players. Besides, Bayern's current facilities did not convince Wirtz.

The Bavarian club's training centre has not been upgraded in about 30 years, which has left the players quite disappointed. In contrast, Liverpool's new and modern training complex has left a big impression on Wirtz.
