Karl-Heinz Rummenigge expressed regret that «Bayern» could not beat the competition from «Liverpool» in the struggle for Florian Wirtz’s signature.
Karl-Heinz RummeniggeA member of the board of directors and former CEO of the Munich club noted that the 22-year-old midfielder would have thrived significantly better in the composition of the German champion. It is worth remembering that «Liverpool» paid «Bayer» £116 million for the transfer of the young star.
Despite the high transfer fee, Wirtz has not yet fully adapted to the EPL — in seven matches this season, he started six times but recorded only one assist. Rummenigge emphasized that the situation for the midfielder could have been much more successful with «Bayern». At the same time, Jurgen Klopp, commenting on Wirtz’s absence from the «Merseysiders» lineup for the cup match against «Southampton», called for patience and reminded that the player needs time to adapt to English football.
