Florian Wirtz is one of the most coveted players in Europe. And according to information from Bildthe German would have chosen Liverpool to the detriment of Manchester City, despite the pronounced interest of the Pep Guardiola club. The attacking midfielder would have been seduced by the Reds sports project, but above all held back by a major uncertainty in Manchester: the future of Guardiola.
The Catalan technician, although under contract until 2027, suggested that he could leave the Skyblues after his lease, wishing to take a break. Wirtz, who dreamed of being coached by him, did not want to take the risk of seeing him leave shortly after his arrival. Conversely, Arne Slot, freshly wrapped in the title of Champion of England in her first season with Liverpool, embodies stability and a dynamic that would have convinced the German international. The unique atmosphere of Anfield and the prestige of the club would also have weighed in the balance. The German media even goes so far as to say that Transfer should be finalized quickly, in parallel with the arrival of Jeremie Frimpong.
