Liverpool prepare for exit of 'world class' star after what's happened

Liverpool prepare for exit of 'world class' star after what's happened Liverpool have made a lot of changes to their first-team squad over the last couple of seasons. Around £600 million has been spent on bringing new players to Anfield in an attempt to replace their golden generation. Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Fabinho are just a few players that the Reds have had to try and replace over the last few years. And, while some moves have worked out, others haven't just yet with some players still trying to find their feet. This lack of adaptation has obviously led to questions being asked about the future of some of Liverpool's squad. Even though the summer transfer window has just slammed shut, the rumour mill is already turning with clubs from around the world already being linked with Liverpool's players. Liverpool are preparing to receive offers from Bayern Munich for Florian Wirtz Last summer, the transfer fee that Liverpool paid for Florian Wirtz shocked almost everyone. The number 10 was only 22 years old and, while he may have played an integral role in Bayer Leverkusen's squad when Xabi Alonso was in charge, the £116 million fee felt quite steep. Indeed, others such as Morgan Rogers and Elliott Anderson have been sold for similar fees this summer but, last season, the young German broke the Reds' transfer record. And, what ended up being even more surprising is that Liverpool broke their record again when they signed Alexander Isak for £125 million. For these price tags, you'd have expected them to make a massive difference but, in reality, they actually got worse. Despite this, Liverpool stuck by them and, since Wirtz's performances still have resulted in more goals and assists, a report from Football Insider has now shared that Liverpool could end up receiving offers from Bayern Munich to acquire his services. "Liverpool are preparing to field offers for Florian Wirtz in January as he continues to struggle for form, sources have told Football Insider," they wrote . "Wirtz is set to attract attention from some top clubs across Europe, but the Reds have no plans to let him leave. "Some clubs could make concrete offers for Wirtz in the new year even though Andoni Iraola still sees him as central to his plans. "Sources have revealed to Football Insider that Bayern Munich admire Wirtz, and they may look to make an offer in January, which is set to be rejected by Liverpool." Liverpool can only let Florian Wirtz go if they make most of their money back Wirtz is a curious case. Under Alonso at Leverkusen, the German was one of his best players. Everywhere you looked on the pitch, he was there. In fact, during his last campaign with the club he even managed to contribute to 31 goals across all competitions. Indeed, because he has to cover so much ground due to the lack of stability Liverpool's double pivot has, he's not really able to get into goal-creating situations as much as he'd like to but, the fact that Steven Gerrard has said that technically, Wirtz is world class , proves how good he actually is. His performances have obviously been far from ideal since his Anfield switch but, if Liverpool do end up letting him go, they must make sure that they get most of their money back. Because, at the moment, the midfielder is only 23 years old and, even though he's not adjusted to Premier League life as well as many would have hoped, he still has a lot of potential to fulfil. Of course, it'll be hard to convince Bayern to do that due to his form but, if they want him, they'll have to cough up, just like they did with Luis Diaz .
