Liverpool are not currently considering selling Florian Wirtz, but the situation regarding the club's record transfer could be revisited in summer 2027 if the German fails to establish himself as a key player in the squad. This is according to BILD.
Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee exceeding £130 million, including bonuses, but he has struggled to consistently showcase his best form.
New Liverpool head coach Antonio Iraola is working to create a more suitable environment for the midfielder. This season, Wirtz has primarily operated in a central attacking midfield role—wearing the no. 10 jersey.
Despite featuring in all five of Liverpool's Premier League matches, he has only registered a single goal involvement.
One of his standout performances came in the Champions League clash against Atletico, where Liverpool secured a 2-1 victory.
According to BILD, Liverpool have no plans to part ways with Wirtz during the January transfer window. However, if the midfielder fails to cement his status as a key player by the end of the season, the club may reassess his situation in summer 2027.
It's important to note that there's currently no concrete decision to sell the player—Liverpool still have faith in their record signing.
BILD also raises questions about whether Wirtz's playing style aligns with Liverpool's current model.
Iraola is focusing on intensity, physicality, and dynamic attacking football. Meanwhile, Wirtz's strengths lie in finding spaces, combining in tight areas, and creating opportunities between the lines.
The German also faces the challenge of adapting to a dressing room filled with seasoned players and team leaders including Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch.
BILD lists Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea among the clubs that could potentially meet the financial demands of a future transfer for Wirtz.
