Bayern Munich’s Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has revealed why Florian Wirtz chose Liverpool over the German giants.Rummenigge is part of the board at Bayern and revealed in an interview that Wirtz being promised the No.10 role was why he elected to go to Anfield.Wirtz’s blockbuster move to Liverpool has yet to pay offGettyHe claims that the finances were roughly the same, but former manager Arne Slot told Wirtz he’d be the attacking midfielder in his system.Wirtz joined the Reds last summer from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth up to £116million.At the time, it was their transfer record, and they were looking to strengthen after winning the Premier League title.However, the 23-year-old has yet to really catch alight in the top-flight, scoring five goals and providing a further five assists so far.And in a question about Wirtz potentially returning to Germany and joining Bayern, Rummenigge revealed he was surprised at Wirtz’s struggles.He said: “To be honest, yes. We were given the impression that he chose Liverpool because the manager back then, Arne Slot, had promised him the #10 position, the role he had also played at Leverkusen. “That was an important factor in his decision to join Liverpool. There were no big differences financially. He made his decision, and we accepted it.”And on potentially going back in for the Liverpool attacker, he said: “First of all, that’s not my job. It’s a matter for the board. And we mustn’t forget that Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry play in that position, and there are other options as well, such as Ismael Saibari.“There’s no need to spend the kind of money that Wirtz would probably cost to sign a fourth player for that position. That’s why I say: Before making any move, a player needs to think very carefully about it.“Whether something might still be possible at some point? I don’t know. The question is whether Wirtz is happy at Liverpool. Wirtz isn’t alone in his struggles with lots of last season’s buys all not hitting the heights they were expected toGetty“I can’t judge that. Uli and I were in contact with his father and mother for a while. Then they decided to take a different path, and we respected that.”Klopp’s supportDespite a poor start to the Premier League season for Wirtz, his national team manager Jurgen Klopp is fully supporting the former Leverkusen man to come good.Wirtz has 46 caps and is a key part of the German national team, and Klopp feels he was unlucky to join at an unfortunate time.He said: “When you look at the overall context, Flo joined Liverpool at a very unfortunate time. It’s about the passing of Diogo Jota. He joined a team with players whose priority was not football at that time, which is very understandable. “He learned a lot from his first year. Now it is a new season under a new coach, and I think he has started all the games. Physically, he is doing very well.“The team is starting to find itself again. Attacking players always need a functioning team around them. Everyone who loves football can see what an outstanding player Flo Wirtz is. Germany have had a poor start to life under Klopp, failing to win their first two gamesGetty“We can’t do more than build him up in our team with enough training and playing time—bit by bit giving him certainty and a good feeling before sending him back to Liverpool. I wish him all the best.”Carragher isn’t so sureOn the flip side to Klopp is Jamie Carragher.The Reds legend has become one of the best pundits around, and he feels that Wirtz isn’t going to get better.Speaking after Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Bournemouth to Sky Sports, Carragher said: “That was one of the poorest I’ve ever seen him in a Liverpool shirt.“I’ve been critical of the fact that he hasn’t got the numbers. But normally when you watch Wirtz, he’s neat and tidy, he keeps possession, there’s things that you like. He gets out of a tight situation where you’re normally expecting your player to lose the ball.“I’ve been critical of the fact that he hasn’t got the numbers. But normally when you watch Wirtz, he’s neat and tidy, he keeps possession, there’s things that you like. He gets out of a tight situation where you’re normally expecting your player to lose the ball.“But the reason I worry is, I don’t think Wirtz is in poor form since he came to Liverpool. I actually think what we’re seeing is what he is.“And I was worried for Wirtz probably 12 months ago. And maybe that was a little bit early to say that, but I didn’t say it. It was just in the back of my head.“The worry for Wirtz now is that his performances so far, or what he’s given Liverpool, is so low. Where we were expecting him was to take Liverpool to another league title, to take Liverpool to a Champions League.“The gap he’s got to get to almost justify what people were expecting, I almost think is too big. You can’t get there. Even if he improves a bit and gets there, it’s still not what Liverpool thought they were getting.”
