'A good fit for Barcelona' – Liverpool star talked up for major transfer move

Oliver Bierhoff suggests Barcelona could be a better fit for Wirtz, who has struggled to adapt at Liverpool since his £116m move in 2025.

Florian Wirtz has underperformed since joining Liverpool for £116 million in 2025, scoring seven goals and providing 11 assists in 55 matches. Former Germany technical director Oliver Bierhoff has suggested a move to Barcelona could reignite the 23-year-old's form, particularly under manager Hansi Flick. Wirtz has shown improved form on international duty under Jurgen Klopp, but Bierhoff believes a change of scenery and more space on the pitch could help him rediscover his best level.
