Prior to Florian Wirtz’s anticipated arrival at Anfield this summer, Liverpool supporters have already made up their minds about him.
Liverpool is already quite busy in the transfer window, with numerous major names linked to a summer move, only weeks after winning the Premier League trophy this season.
The Reds sealed the signing of Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong just hours after former defender Trent Alexander-Arnold’s transfer to La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid was finalized, but their business isn’t finished there.
Wirtz, Frimpong’s former colleague from Leverkusen, is scheduled to join Liverpool in the upcoming weeks for a projected €150 million (£126 million), breaking the club’s previous record fee.
Prior to the transfer, Liverpool supporters watched the highly regarded midfield player play for his nation in Germany’s match against Portugal in the Nations League semi-final, and they already had preconceived notions about his performance.
The 22-year-old started Wednesday’s game as a member of Germany’s attack, but his role at Liverpool is still up in the air. After just forty-five minutes, Wirtz has made a big impression on supporters on social media.
According to one fan’s reaction to his performance in the first half, “Mohamed Salah is going to love playing with Florian Wirtz.”
“Not to get carried away, but I think the club should get to work on the Wirtz statue,” jokingly said another enthusiastic supporter.
“Wirtz looks so much better than everyone else,” another fan wrote. really effective and silky smooth. Portugal must restrict his contact.
Following a somewhat contentious foul in which the studs of his foot dug into Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes late in the first half, supporters also applauded their top transfer target.
Although neither the Reds nor Wirtz’s current club have acknowledged the move, a number of stories from people like Florian Plettenberg and Fabrizio Romano have indicated that it is likely to happen soon.
The German player took to social media on Tuesday night to refute rumors that he was requesting to wear the number 10 shirt upon his arrival at Anfield, perhaps confirming that the transfer is taking place.
