Liverpool has faced criticism from pundit Jason Cundy, who slammed the club for their handling of Florian Wirtz's contract situation. Cundy described the scenario as "insane," emphasizing that Liverpool's current approach undervalues key players like Wirtz and Mohamed Salah.

Specifically, Cundy took issue with the club allowing important players to approach the final years of their contracts without renewal discussions being settled. He cited the example of Trent Alexander-Arnold, criticizing Liverpool for risking losing such a crucial player for free by not securing his future sooner. Cundy expressed disbelief that the club would let a player of Alexander-Arnold's caliber, who has been with Liverpool since he was six years old, reach the last two years of his contract without agreement on an extension. He warned that players in the final 18 months of their contract gain increased leverage, potentially enabling them to negotiate pre-contracts with other clubs, such as Real Madrid, with no transfer fee involved.

Applying this critique to Wirtz, Cundy’s comments suggest Liverpool may similarly be failing to properly value and secure their emerging talents, creating risky contract situations that could harm the club’s long-term prospects. His remarks highlight perceived mismanagement in Liverpool's contract strategy that could see them lose top players or destabilize their squad.

This analysis comes amid broader concerns about Liverpool’s squad and signing strategies, with fans and pundits debating the club’s recruitment quality and overall team performance.
