TRANSFER NEWS: Florian Wirtz Rejects Liverpool Links, Commits Future to Bayern Munich with Five-Year Deal
Florian Wirtz has put an end to swirling transfer rumors by signing a long-term contract with Bayern Munich, officially rejecting speculation that linked him with a move to Premier League giants Liverpool. The highly rated German midfielder has agreed to a five-year deal with the Bundesliga champions, expressing his excitement about joining the club he has long admired.
The 21-year-old star, previously one of Bayer Leverkusen’s standout players, had been on the radar of several top European clubs following an exceptional season in the Bundesliga and impressive performances on the international stage. Liverpool were among the clubs reportedly monitoring Wirtz closely, with fans and pundits speculating that a move to Anfield could be imminent.
However, Wirtz has decisively ended any such speculation. When asked about the Liverpool interest, the attacking midfielder reportedly laughed it off, making it clear where his heart lies. “Bayern Munich has always been my dream club,” Wirtz said during his unveiling in Munich. “I’ve grown up watching this team dominate German football and compete at the highest level in Europe. It’s an incredible feeling to now be a part of this institution.”
The five-year contract signifies Bayern’s long-term commitment to integrating Wirtz into their future plans, as the club looks to rebuild and refresh its squad with younger talent. His signing is widely seen as a statement of intent by the Bavarian side, who are determined to maintain their domestic dominance while also pushing for European glory in the Champions League.

For Wirtz, the move marks a major step forward in his career. While he expressed gratitude for his development at Bayer Leverkusen, he admitted that the opportunity to wear the Bayern jersey was too big to pass up. “It’s the right time for me to take this next step,” he added. “I want to grow as a player, win titles, and contribute to this amazing club.”
As for Liverpool, they’ll have to look elsewhere to bolster their midfield. Despite reported interest, Wirtz’s decision clearly shows that his ambitions lie in continuing his rise to the top within his home country — under the bright lights of the Allianz Arena.
