German Star Set for Anfield Move After Reds Outmaneuver Bundesliga Giants
In a major transfer coup, Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz has informed Bayern Munich that he intends to join Liverpool this summer, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein. The 22-year-old German playmaker, one of Europe’s most sought-after talents, has decided on a move to Merseyside after being convinced by Liverpool’s ambitious project.
Wirtz recently visited Liverpool for talks with club officials and has even begun house-hunting in England—a clear sign of his commitment to the move. His decision comes as a blow to Bayern, who had been confident of securing his signature, especially given honorary president Uli Hoeness’s close ties to Wirtz’s family. Despite Hoeness’s efforts to sway the young star, Liverpool’s persuasive pitch and promise to build their future around him under new manager Arne Slot proved decisive.
The Reds have reportedly assured Wirtz that they are prepared to meet any financial demands to bring him to Anfield, whether that means paying €100 million or even €150 million. While no fee has been agreed with Leverkusen yet, the Bundesliga club is said to prefer selling abroad rather than strengthening domestic rivals Bayern.
For Liverpool, landing Wirtz would be a major statement of intent, signaling their determination to remain at Europe’s elite level. For Bayern, it’s a rare and painful defeat in the transfer market—one that could reshape the balance of power in German football.
The saga isn’t over yet, but one thing is clear: Wirtz’s heart is set on Anfield.
