150 million euro star changes mind, leaving Bayern disillusioned

Florian Wirtz no longer wants to continue playing in the Bundesliga in the 2025/26 season.

Wirtz is a star sought after by many big clubs.

According to Bild , Wirtz is said to have said no to Bayern Munich because he wants to try his hand in the Premier League. Currently, Liverpool has unexpectedly taken the lead in the race to sign the player, who is valued at 150 million euros.

Liverpool are showing clear ambition in the transfer market when making the first move to contact Bayer Leverkusen about Wirtz.

After a successful season with the Premier League championship, the Merseyside team under new coach Arne Slot is looking to continue upgrading the squad to aim for bigger goals and Wirtz is the top name on the shopping list.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has enjoyed a brilliant season for Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso, contributing 16 goals and 15 assists in all competitions. The German international's brilliant form has attracted the attention of Liverpool, who see him as a factor that can bring a breakthrough to a midfield that is lacking creativity.

The Bundesliga club have offered around €150m for Wirtz, but Liverpool are considering an instalment offer with performance-based add-ons. Notably, Manchester City have also withdrawn from the race, opening up a huge opportunity for the reigning Premier League champions.

In addition to Wirtz, Liverpool are also keeping an eye on Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong, who has a €35m release clause in his contract.
