Florian Wirtz ‘not fit for purpose’ as Liverpool urged to cut losses with £70m decision

Pundit Simon Jordan labeled Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz "not fit for purpose" following the German player's difficult run of form. Wirtz joined the club from Bayer Leverkusen for £100 million plus £16 million in add-ons, but pundits including Jamie Carragher and Danny Murphy have questioned his physicality and suggested manager Andoni Iraola should consider dropping him.

Jordan highlighted that Wirtz's book value sits around £70 million, questioning whether Liverpool should cut their losses if he cannot adapt. Wirtz, who earns a reported £200,000 per week, has recorded just one assist in six appearances across the current campaign.
