Bayern munich legend slams florian wirtz as liverpool transfer considered

BAYERN MUNICH LEGEND STEFAN EFFENBERG CRITICISES LIVERPOOL TRANSFER TARGET FLORIAN WIRTZ FOR DELIBERATING OVER HIS NEXT CAREER MOVE 12:32, 22 May 2025 Bayern Munich legend Stefan Effenberg

has criticised Liverpool transfer target Florian Wirtz for deliberating over his next career move, claiming the Bayer Leverkusen star's pondering is "undignified". Liverpool

have made clear their admiration to the 22-year-old's camp but are of the belief Wirtz will eventually choose to stay in Germany at either Leverkusen or Bayern, who have made the

versatile attacker their key target for the summer after regaining the Bundesliga title. Should Wirtz desire a move to the Premier League, however, the Reds are now at the front of the queue

after Manchester City reportedly opted to walk away from the table due to the cost involved at a time when they may not yet have Champions League football next term. READ MORE: Liverpool

happened' Effenberg, who won three Bundesliga titles with Bayern as well as the 2001 Champions League, has voiced his frustration at Wirtz and his family taking their time over his

next move, in his weekly t-online column in Germany. Former Germany international Effenberg writes: "The future of Bayer Leverkusen superstar Florian Wirtz is still unclear. After he

already seemed to be on his way to FC Bayern, Manchester City is now reportedly also in the race for the national player, and Real Madrid is still considered a potential target. "I say:

A move to City or to the 'Royals' (Madrid) would perhaps be even more beneficial to his career. Because both clubs have now had a disappointing season by their standards and want

to attack fully again next year, especially in the Champions League - probably with many expensive reinforcements. "And that, after all, is the one title that Wirtz is still missing. He

has already won everything in Germany. However, I think it's a shame that there has still been no official statement from the Wirtz side about the direction in which things could go.

So all sides - clubs, fans, the public - remain in the dark for far too long. This is tiring and not appropriate to the situation "If Wirtz, who is supposed to have tended towards

Bayern, now suddenly changes his mind again, that would also be a very bad sign. Because that would make it clear that he himself doesn't really know what he actually wants. So the

question remains open: Where does he actually want to go? Article continues below "This undignified fiddling around doesn't help anyone, especially not himself. He should finally

make up his mind and communicate it openly - it's for his own good."
