Hamann Proposes Wirtz May Depart Liverpool on Loan: Its Challenging to Make a Comeback
Didi Hamann Suggests Loan Move for Florian Wirtz
Concerns Surrounding Wirtz’s Role at Liverpool
Former Liverpool star and German international Didi Hamann has indicated that Florian Wirtz, who joined the team over the summer, might benefit from a loan transfer.
Manager Arne Slot’s struggle to integrate new players into the squad that triumphed in last season’s Premier League has been widely discussed.
Wirtz’s Underwhelming Performance
Florian Wirtz, acquired from Bayer Leverkusen, has attracted significant attention as one of the key signings. However, the young German has yet to find the back of the net in 16 outings, contributing only three assists.
Doubts have been raised regarding the 22-year-old’s ability to perform under pressure. In a conversation with CoinPoker, Hamann proposed that a loan stint could help Wirtz regain his form away from Slot’s immediate expectations.
Quotations from Hamann
Is it possible for Florian Wirtz to go out on loan in January? Yes. Given the investment made by the club and the support from the manager, he may need to be the one to go, even if he is quite young. There’s an expectation for him to turn things around,
Hamann remarked.
He continued,
Based on his current form, I’m uncertain if he can manage that. When I observe him, I sometimes wonder if he’s lost confidence due to the intensity of the Premier League.
Occasionally, it seems like when he loses the ball, it could be because the pace and physicality are overwhelming for him. I really hope I’m wrong, but that’s how it appears. If this continues for too long, it becomes increasingly difficult to alter the situation.
Injury Update and Future Outlook
Wirtz has been sidelined for the last two matches due to a muscle strain but has the possibility of returning to the lineup against West Ham United. He will need to start delivering impressive performances, or else Slot may seriously consider a loan arrangement to find a club that better fits his current skills.
