Florian Wirtz ‘not fit for purpose’ as Liverpool urged to cash in on transfer offer

Pundit Simon Jordan has labeled Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz as not fit for purpose following a difficult opening 14 months at Anfield. Wirtz, who joined the club from Bayer Leverkusen for an initial £100 million plus £16 million in add-ons, has faced growing scrutiny. Former Liverpool stars Jamie Carragher and Danny Murphy also highlighted his struggles, with Carragher suggesting manager Andoni Iraola should relegate the 23-year-old to the bench.

Wirtz reportedly earns £200,000 per week and has contributed just one assist across six appearances this season. While Liverpool remain unbeaten across all competitions under Iraola, the team has recorded three draws in five Premier League matches. Jordan warned that Wirtz's book value and substantial wage bill could complicate any future departure if his form fails to improve.
