Rummenigge, who was CEO at Bayern during Wirtz's potential transfer, believes the midfielder would have been better off staying in the Bundesliga. He thinks Wirtz would have been more comfortable at Bayern, where he had previously played. Rummenigge also praised Bayern's financial management, stating that they avoid getting involved in "financial madness" and instead focus on achieving sporting success in a stable and sustainable way.
Wirtz made 140 Bundesliga appearances for Leverkusen, scoring 35 goals and providing 45 assists under manager Xabi Alonso. It's too early to say whether his Liverpool move has been a success, but he is still adapting to the Premier League. The Reds face Crystal Palace this weekend, and with Hugo Ekitike suspended, Alexander Isak will take his place. This could give Wirtz more opportunities to contribute to the team, particularly with Isak's goal-scoring abilities.
It's worth noting that Wirtz has been playing well in his early games, and it may take some time for him to fully adjust to the Premier League. With the right opportunities and support, he could still have a successful season with Liverpool.
