Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich says he hopes Florian Wirtz is making the right decision for his own career by shunning interest from the Bundesliga champions in favour of LIVERPOOL.
Wirtz has scored 57 goals in 197 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen and last season won the Bundesliga, the German Cup and the German Super Cup with the club under Xabi Alonso.
Liverpool have muscled their way to the front of the queue and Wirtz has reportedly ‘given his word’ to the newly crowned Premier League champions. On Friday, an offer of £109m was turned down by the German side and negotiations remain ongoing.
However – amid all the speculation – Kimmich has opened up and says he hopes Florian Wirtz is making the right decision for his own career by making the move to the Premier League and Liverpool – Kimmich said:
‘He must have his reasons for making that decision. I hope it turns out to be the right path for him. As a Bayern Munich player, of course, I would have liked him to join us.”

words come only a few days after Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann claimed Florian Wirtz would be making a ‘very good step’ in his career by joining LIVERPOOL,
‘You can look at it from different points of view. In the end, every player has to decide for himself,’ the ex-Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig manager said.
‘It’s not official, but if it’s Liverpool, then it’d be a very good step because he can play in his position, a great environment, great club.
‘Bayern wouldn’t have been a bad option either. It would’ve been good to have them [Wirtz and Musiala] playing together, but Jamal and Flo can get on well together even if they’re not at the same club.
‘The most important thing is that he plays and continues to develop. If he feels that he would be better off at LIVERPOOL, then he has to do it.’
