Liverpool not worried about Florian Wirtz

Liverpool have dismissed speculation that they could sell Florian Wirtz, according to Rousing The Kop.

Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2025 and has struggled to make an impact at Anfield so far.

Journalist Graeme Bailey said: “Regarding speculation surrounding Wirtz’s future, Liverpool are totally dismissive of anything around him.

Social media can be quite vociferous with things, but Liverpool know they’ve got a world class player. Talk of them thinking about cashing in or anything like that is absolute nonsense.

“They’re committed to Wirtz, there’s no ifs or buts, they love him as a person and a player and know he’ll come good.”

However, former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes that Wirtz could end up joining Real Madrid on a loan deal in the January transfer window.

Metro quotes Hamann as saying: “Top players didn’t get loaned in the past.

“A loan was for players who didn’t get a game, but the top players didn’t get loaned.

“It probably started with Philippe Coutinho a few years ago, when he went for 140 million or something to Barcelona. And a year later he was loaned out to Bayern Munich.

“I wouldn’t rule anything out in today’s world, especially in football. It’s been reported that Xabi Alonso has asked Real Madrid to keep an eye on Florian Wirtz’ performances and what he does at Liverpool.

“I reckon it could be true. Because we know how fondly he talks of him. He was the reason they won the league, they won the cup.

“He was the heartbeat of the Bayer Leverkusen team with Granit Xhaka, and yeah, they keep an eye on him.

“He’s too good to fail at Liverpool, but it’s been about 10 games now. You can never rule anything out.

“In my time, Juan Sebastian Veron came to Manchester United as potentially the best midfielder at the time. He lasted one season. So you can never rule anything out.

“It’ll depend on what happens in the next few weeks. But as I said, at the moment I wouldn’t rule anything out, and if Real Madrid are keeping an eye on him, it could happen.”
