The 22-year-old has taken his talents to Liverpool and the Premier League \u2014 but it was not for a lack of effort from Bayern Munich to keep him in the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cIt would have been great if Flo had ended up at Bayern,\u201d said former Bayern legend Thomas M\u00fcller (as captured by Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk, via <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/iMiaSanMia\/status\/1957933410208403613\">@iMiaSanMia<\/a>). \u201cBut it\u2019s also nice to see him play for Liverpool now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI always thought it was great when German players left their mark at big clubs in international leagues and held the German flag high. Nevertheless, it\u2019s obviously a huge loss for the Bundesliga when a player like that leaves the league.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Wirtz joins a long list of stars in this summer\u2019s Leverkusen exodus, a list which includes coach Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid. While Bayern may have it easier as a result, the Bavarians are still dealing with the blow of missing out on their dream add in attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 _16w9vova ls9zuh1\">Still \u2014 Wirtz as a standard-bearer for German football abroad?
