Setting the Record Straight: Florian Wirtz Clears up Liverpool Contract Rumors
Liverpool Talks: Wirtz Denies Jersey Number Demand - Commission still awaits response from Commission.
Hey there! Let's talk about Florian Wirtz, the 22-year-old German football sensation causing quite a stir in the world of soccer.
He's been throwing some serious shade on those pesky transfer rumors floating around about him wanting the iconic number 10 jersey at FC Liverpool. Turns out, not everything you read online is gospel! According to Wirtz, he's just playing the game, respecting the current occupant of the number 10, Argentine World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister.
If you've been following the news, you might have heard that Sky reported the talks between the English champs and Wirtz included discussions about the number 10. But, let's face it, when it comes to rumors and transfer talks, what's the truth, right?
Wirtz has been a part of the Reds family since the summer of 2023, and his contract, expiring on June 30, 2028, keeps fans on the edge of their seats. The Number 10 jersey is not just any jersey; legends like club icon Michael Owen and Sadio Mané have worn it before Mac Allister.
The ongoing transfer saga between Liverpool and Bayer 04 Leverkusen has been quite a rollercoaster. According to reports, the Bundesliga club rejected the second offer, believed to be a staggering €130 million, with a fixed sum of €118 million and bonus payments of €12 million. That sounds like a pretty hefty sum, doesn't it! In the first round of negotiations, Liverpool offered €100 million plus €15 million in additional payments.
Naturally, the Bayer bosses have their eyes set on something more than the €150 million that general manager Fernando Carro once publicly mentioned as the minimum amount.
Tonight, Wirtz will be suiting up in Munich, playing for the national team in the Nations League semi-final against Portugal. You might catch him in the number 17 jersey, but remember, he's got moves like Jagger in number 10 for Bayer Leverkusen.
In case you were wondering, Florian Wirtz, Liverpool, FC Liverpool, and Instagram are hot topics now! And let's not forget about Bayer 04 Leverkusen, the club where Wirtz is still under contract until the end of June 2027.
Here's a truth bomb for you: The negotiations between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are still ongoing. However, specific details about Wirtz's preferred jersey number are yet to be revealed. So, let's keep our eyes peeled for more updates on this juicy transfer story!
Although the Commission has been tasked with submitting a proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment in the European Union, it seems that Florian Wirtz's focus lies elsewhere. As he gears up for tonight's game in Munich, Wirtz, renowned for his moves on the field like Jagger, continues to uphold his contract with Bayer 04 Leverkusen, where he currently wears the number 17 jersey.
