Florian Wirtz’s name has dominated the headlines since his big-money move to Liverpool last summer.
The German international showed his class during the back end of last season, but under Andoni Iraola so far, he hasn’t really set the world alight.
There have been reports linking him with a transfer, but nothing concrete has emerged so far as all parties involved remain committed to making it work at Anfield,
Now, however, Christian Falk has spoken about a potential swap deal for Wirtz with Bayern Munich involving Michael Olise.
Falk on Liverpool-Bayern swap deal
“Everyone is hoping the former Crystal Palace star signs a new contract,” wrote Falk for CF Bayern Insider.
“But if not, and he decides for a transfer, of course Florian Wirtz would be a player who’s interesting for Bayern Munich.
“The German can play on the side or centrally. This would be a very interesting thing, and if you make a swap deal with Liverpool or sell Olise for a lot of money to Real Madrid, you have the money to make an offer for Wirtz.
“So, there are many, many positions which have to be discussed. I wouldn’t say it’s not true that Bayern Munich would have thought of that.”
As we wrote earlier, Liverpool shouldn’t even entertain the idea of parting with Wirtz. Bayern, for their part, will certainly have the same stance for Olise, so all this seems like fan fiction at this point.
