Liverpool supporters will ‘fall in love’ with Florian Wirtz and that he will quickly become a fan favourite at Anfield. The Reds are in talks with Bayer Leverkusen over a potential

club-record deal for the Germany international. Bayern Munich had previously been favourites to land the midfielder’s signature, only for Liverpool to steal a march on the Bundesliga

handled it: discreetly, quietly, all in the background.” He continued: “Florian Wirtz makes others better. I believe he's a player who can play anywhere. That's why he might have

had the opportunity to go to Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. Article continues below “Liverpool has fast players: Jeremie Frimpong is also moving to Liverpool, and Wirtz already knows him very
