Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann claimed the club will eventually 'pull the plug' on Florian Wirtz, describing the record transfer as a 'huge misunderstanding'. Wirtz, who joined from Bayer Leverkusen for up to £116 million, has recorded only one assist and zero goals across seven appearances in all competitions so far this season.
