It was always going to take a record-breaking fee for any club to be able to snatch the young German playmaker Florian Wirtz from Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The German club knew they were going to get huge money from their star boy after continuously dazzling at the Bay Arena in the last three seasons.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Bayern Munich all announced their interest in the number 10, but the English champions finally got him because they were ready to pay the 116M pounds the Germans asked for. The Reds have gotten their man and have successfully passed his medicals.
The youngest expressed his happiness after signing 5 five-year deal at Anfield.
Wirtz told the club’s official website“I feel very happy and very proud. Finally, it’s done and I was waiting for a long time. I’m really excited to have a new adventure in front of me. This was also a big point of my thoughts: that I want to have something completely new, to go out of the Bundesliga and to join the Premier League.
“I will see how I can perform there. I hope I can do my best. I spoke also with some players who played there and they told me that it’s perfect for me and every pitch is perfect, you can enjoy every game. I’m really looking forward to playing my first game”, Wirtz added.
The German is expected to form a strong partnership in the attack with Mohamed Salah, Luiz Diaz, Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo in the upcoming season.
