The German enjoyed a
title-winning spell at Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso. However, his first season
at Anfield proved difficult after arriving with huge expectations.
Wirtz made 49
appearances across all competitions last season, scoring seven goals and
providing six assists. He managed five goals and three assists across 33
Premier League matches.
His difficulties have
continued during the 2026–27 season under Andoni Iraola, leading to further
scrutiny over his performances.
Meanwhile, speculation
about his future has increased despite Liverpool having no immediate plans to
sell him. His current contract runs until June 2030.
Bayern Munich have
shown interest, while Chelsea have also been linked with a move. Alonso's
arrival at Stamford Bridge has fuelled talk of a reunion with his former
Leverkusen star.
However, Wirtz has now
made his position clear regarding those possibilities.
According to German
football-centric X account Space, Wirtz wants to remain at Liverpool and has no
plans to join Chelsea or Bayern Munich.
The account said:
“Both remain unequivocally committed to #LFC and the mystique of Anfield, where
Florian intends to carve his name into the history of football's greatest
institution.”
Space later reported
that “Xabi Alonso's Chelsea” continue “to closely monitor the situation
surrounding Florian Wirtz”.
However, the account
made clear that Chelsea should not expect Wirtz to change his position despite
their continued interest.
It added: “However,
any hopes of a potential move are firmly misplaced, with neither the player nor
his representatives entertaining the possibility of a departure.
“Florian remains fully
committed to #LFC, and a move to Stamford Bridge is simply not on the agenda.”
Therefore, despite the interest surrounding his future, Wirtz currently intends to continue his career at Liverpool rather than reunite with Alonso at Chelsea.
Despite Bayern representatives seemingly being unable to go a single day without entertaining the fantasy of bringing Florian Wirtz to Munich, neither the player nor his father and agent, Hans-Joachim Wirtz, have the slightest intention of indulging their delusions. Both remain unequivocally committed to #LFC and the mystique of Anfield, where Florian intends to carve his name into the history of football’s greatest institution.
