Rummenigge expressed surprise at Wirtz's difficulty at Anfield, suggesting that the £154 million signing only moved to Liverpool due to promises from manager Arne Slot. The legend acknowledged that there could be alternative options for Bayern Munich, and that Wirtz's decision to join Liverpool was his own.",
