After his rapid rise at Leverkusen, Liverpool’s new club-record signing is poised to step outside his comfort zone.
When Bayern Munich’s charm offensive begins, few players can resist. Despite months of public flattery and interest in Florian Wirtz continuing beyond the Rekordmeister’s title celebrations in Marienplatz and the departure of Xabi Alonso from Bayer Leverkusen, all of German football seemed to anticipate the outcome.
Thus, it’s an unpleasant surprise for Munich’s elite that the red jersey Wirtz holds up for the camera belongs not to them, but to Liverpool, who signed him in a deal that could set a British record of £116m. This marks an authentic coup for the Premier League champions. Wirtz’s decision to choose a future in north-west England over southern Germany reveals much about both his character and his abilities.
