Usually rather moderate when it comes to spending during transfer periods, Liverpool hit hard this summer. In addition to the 144 million euros put on the table to attract Alexander Isak, the Reds offered 125 million euros to Bayer Leverkusen to recover Florian Wirtz. Flamboyant in the Bundesliga, the latter has difficulty adapting to the game of his new team. Some have named culprits.
Four days before a trip to Luxembourg as part of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, Julian Nagelsmann spoke about the player’s situation. The Germany coach felt that the latter was not primarily responsible.
“As a whole, the club is not as stable this season as the previous one. As a result, it is more complicated to integrate into it at the moment. »
Wirtz not helped by his partners, according to Nagelsmann
Under the leadership of Arne Slot, coach of the Reds, Florian Wirtz would therefore not be put in the best conditions. And that’s not all for Julian Nagelsmann who went a little further by explaining that Wirtz’s partners at Liverpool would not be at the level to help him shine.
“Liverpool could help him by scoring on the chances he creates. It would be an idea, because he does create some chances, but it’s as if… I don’t know why… They didn’t want to score the chances he created. This is part of the truth. »
This will please the players of the Mersey club.
