Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz could reportedly be open to joining Bayern Munich if the German club revives its interest. Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown suggested that Wirtz has struggled to adapt to the physicality and tempo of the Premier League since his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen in 2025. Despite the speculation, Liverpool remains reluctant to sell the 23-year-old midfielder ahead of the January transfer window.
