Bayern Munich's Rummenigge downplays interest in Liverpool's Wirtz

Summary

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, a member of Bayern Munich's supervisory board, stated the club has no plans to pursue Florian Wirtz. The 2025 summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen has struggled at Liverpool, tallying just one assist in six games this season. Despite his creative abilities, including a high ranking in chances created, his overall statistics have not met expectations since the transfer. Bayern's current squad features ample talent in the attacking midfield position, including Jamal Musiala and Ismael Saibari.
