Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz is reportedly running out of time to prove himself at Anfield, with growing tension surrounding his future.<\/p>\n
The Reds signed the German international from Bayer Leverkusen for around \u00a3116 million in summer 2025, beating competition from Manchester City and Bayern Munich. However, he has struggled to adapt to the physical demands of the Premier League.<\/p>\n
According to journalist Mark Brus, Wirtz must impress head coach Andoni Iraola soon or Liverpool could consider selling him. Bayern Munich are reportedly leading the race for his signature if he becomes available, while Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea are also monitoring his situation.<\/p>\n
However, European football expert Julien Laurens believes Wirtz can improve under Iraola, arguing that the manager’s tactical approach gives the midfielder more freedom than he enjoyed under Arne Slot.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, pundit Jay Bothroyd believes Wirtz has lost confidence and struggles when opponents sit deep and deny him space.<\/p>\n
Wirtz now faces a crucial period to rediscover his best form and convince Liverpool that he remains a key part of their future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
