We have known it for a few days already. Florian Wirtz has chosen Liverpool to continue his career, rejecting Bayern Munich's proposal or even following his former coach Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid. The Spanish club has never really been an option, where the Bavarian giant had made him his high priority. He even held the rope for a long time in this file before seeing the Reds definitively take the advantage for a story of money, according to the argument put forward by the management of Bayern.
“”To be honest, I don't know if we could have paid what Liverpool seems to pay todayExplained Max Eberl a few days ago. And for good reason, Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen reached an agreement yesterday for a transfer of around € 137 million, bonus included. At this level, it is unheard of for the Premier League. The amount may seem staggering but the English club was ready to line up, especially since the owners (Fenway Sports Group) approved the investment, despite the inherent risks.
Liverpool played its all
Arne Slot and the sports director Richard Hugues then pushed with all their strength to materialize. The task was also facilitated by the fact that the Reds have known the Wirtz family for a long time. First contacts had taken place at the time when the player was still playing in Cologne. The idea was already to bring him but at a much earlier age since he had never known the professional world before. More recently, Bayer trained at the Liverpool Axa Center. Wirtz was impressed by the installations.
A few weeks ago, Bayern was the big favorite but the Scousers managed to fill their delay in “carpet“Indicates the Daily Mail. The Dutch coach took his phone to convince the 22 -year -old player and that hit the bull's eye, in addition to the financial proposal of course. The German international (31 selections, 7 goals) will receive € 20 million up per year until 2030. Enough to tip the scales for a boy described as “discreet and without ego. ” The future will tell us if this bet will be the right one.
