Liverpool respond to growing Florian Wirtz transfer interest ahead of January

Liverpool reportedly have no intention of selling German midfielder Florian Wirtz during the upcoming January transfer window. Despite bracing for transfer approaches from clubs such as Bayern Munich, the Premier League side plans to reject any offers for the 23-year-old. Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of up to £116 million but has experienced a modest start to his second season in England.

Manager Andoni Iraola continues to view Wirtz as an important part of his plans and has publicly backed the midfielder. Wirtz has started all four of Liverpool's Premier League matches this season, recording one assist in five competitive appearances. The club is focused on finding the right tactical role to bring out his best qualities rather than sanctioning a permanent transfer exit.
