Ok. Where to start. If I were a Liverpool fan (I'm not), I'd start to get excited about the prospect of signing Wirtz. He has already spoken to Bayern Munich of his intention not to join them this summer. Does this mean he'll automatically end up at LFC? No. But it's a very real possibility. The Wirtz family (who I know reasonably well through another family remember) have said he won't be joining Munich because to their behaviour during this transfer (they've tried to manipulate the fee they would pay) . They also say they were impressed with the meeting with Liverpool. A short trip though. Could be good news. He is a very solid guy and everyone knows how good he is. I'd love to see him at LFC. I'd say they have a 65% chance.

Why would the Wirtz family care about Bayern trying to haggle a lower fee with Leverkusen?
21 May 2025 17:05:07
So what team do you support and how did you find your way here if you don't mind me asking?
21 May 2025 17:13:02
Would be the extremely happy if he comes! What a player!

Rumours suggesting the clear presentation of how slot planned to play wirtz was pivotal in convincing him that we might possibly be the right club for him, kompany's pitch on the other hand is said to have been rather more confused.

Reasonably plausible rumour I would say. And I bet the OP is a Bayern fan. How else would he get, or care about, this info?

Babbity - certain Twitter accounts have posted information believed to be close to the transfer basically stating that the Wirtz family took exception to Bayern using their media contacts to make it clear that Wirtz only had eyes for Bayern and thus trying to back Leverkusen into a corner to accept a lower fee. Apparently they had made it clear that Wirtz would be considering all offers and the fact Bayern then did what they did damaged the trust between the parties irreparably.
Believe it or not but that’s what is being said.

Didn't Ed002 state that players received 5% of the transfer fee usually, though could be different for Germany of course. However, of true, Bayern manipulating the fee could affect the money Wirtz receives plus, he might be miffed that they're trying to short change his current club.
Who knows, it is a rumours site after all.
{Ed001's Note - players automatically receive 5% of any transfer fee unless they hand in a written transfer request.}

It would also be possible that he stays for another term at bayer 04.

Cheers Sourkrout. Just what the site is meant for and thanks once again for sharing mate.

I heard he was impressed with Slots Ibiza dance moves.
Crazy to think that Coutinho received 7 mill for his move to Barca.
No wonder agents and players are always giving other clubs the side eye.

Mm a German who can't spell 'sauerkraut'

Cheers Wassa.

It is a pleasure. If I hear some more news I’ll write again.,

The main story has been regurgitated from an extremely suspect Twitter account. Going to ignore what is happening in the media and wait for the lean!

It Wirtz me to hear you say that.
