Overview
- The 22-year-old has three assists in 16 appearances for Liverpool and no Premier League goals after a record‑fee summer move from Bayer Leverkusen.
- German outlets delivered harsh reviews of his 90-minute display in a 2-0 win over Luxembourg, describing a weak performance with little impact.
- Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness told Football Insider of industry whispers about a potential Rodrygo swap with Real Madrid, a claim presented as speculative.
- Football365, citing Defensa Central, reported Madrid told Xabi Alonso they would try for Wirtz but would not exceed about €70–75m, a level viewed as unrealistic given Liverpool’s investment.
- Wirtz’s father says the player does not regret joining Liverpool and is settling in, while Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann has urged patience and pointed to team context.
