Florian Wirtz does not look like a £116m player but it is too early to write him off
<p>The 23-year-old playmaker has been disappointing for Liverpool but has he really been that bad?</p><p>By <a href="https://theanalyst.com/">Opta Analyst</a></p><p>When <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/jun/20/florian-wirtz-liverpool-bayer-leverkusen-club-record-116m-deal">Florian Wirtz signed for Liverpool</a> in the summer of 2025, there was only one logical assumption. The Premier League champions at the time had recruited one of the hottest young talents in world football – a key player in the Bayer Leverkusen team that had won the double in 2023-24 and a star in the Germany team.

Last season was difficult for Liverpool for several reasons, and Wirtz, along with other new arrivals, struggled to make the impact expected of a £116m player. There were conversations among fans this summer about how long he and fellow nine-figure signing Alexander Isak should be given before difficult questions needed be asked. The broad consensus was until Christmas.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/sep/23/florian-wirtz-liverpool-playmaker-opta">Continue reading...</a>
