The German signed for the Merseyside giants from Bayer Leverkusen for €125m in 2025, but he has since struggled to impress.

Wirtz has come up with the odd goal contribution for the Anfield club, but his performances have been below par for a substantial period. This has led to speculation that he could pursue a new challenge, particularly with Chelsea and Bayern among his long-term admirers.

However, Wirtz has no desire to leave the Reds yet and believes he has the credentials to succeed as a Premier League player at the club. Wirtz has provided three assists in nine matches for the Reds this term.
