Will this really happen today?
Liverpool is a great club and my favourite in England since ages (Kenny D times) and being German I love Jürgen Klopp but the move of Florian Wirtz to Liverpool FC is also sad for German Bundesliga
Wirtz is the top talent in the country, good though Bayern Munich is not getting him as they usually by all great talents from other clubs, hence I like the headline of this article a lot :-):

Will he be tough enough for Premier League?
Florian Wirtz is still 22 and not sure he can survive the league in England but the following sources seem to welcoem him - Florian is poised to make a significant impact in the Premier League as he prepares to join Liverpool in a record-breaking £126 million transfer from Bayer Leverkusen . His exceptional vision, technical prowess, and versatility make him an ideal fit for English football.(The Scottish Sun)
In the 2024/25 season, Wirtz demonstrated his elite playmaking abilities by scoring 16 goals and providing 15 assists across 45 appearances . His capacity to operate effectively between the lines, combined with his intelligent movement and precise passing, mirrors the qualities of top Premier League midfielders.(talkSPORT)
Liverpool's new manager, Arne Slot, has reportedly played a pivotal role in securing Wirtz's commitment, offering a vision that promises a central role in the team's attacking dynamics . This move not only strengthens Liverpool's midfield but also positions Wirtz as a potential successor to the creative mantle held by players like Kevin De Bruyne.(Bavarian Football Works)
With his blend of creativity, work ethic, and tactical intelligence, Wirtz is well-equipped to thrive in the fast-paced and physically demanding environment of the Premier League. His arrival at Liverpool signals a new chapter for both the player and the club, with high expectations for success on both domestic and European stages.
