Florian Wirtz clarifies his reasons for transferring to Liverpool
Florian Wirtz's Revelation: The Million-Pound Move to Liverpool and His Lofty Aspirations
The long-awaited, high-stakes game of musical chairs has come to an end: Florian Wirtz is making the record-breaking switch from Bayer Leverkusen to FC Liverpool. In a straightforward statement, the sought-after midfielder lets us know why he chose the "Reds."
With a beaming smile and clad in Liverpool's jersey, Wirtz sits comfortably on a red sofa, visibly relieved that the transfer saga is finally over. "I'm chuffed as a peach and damn proud," he exclaimed. "The move to bloody Liverpool has been a long time coming, and I can't bloody wait to get started!"
With a clear message to national and international competitors, Wirtz veers away from idle banter. "I ain't here for a holiday - I want results, and I'm determined to give the fans bloody everything they deserve."
When asked about his decision to join a club with Jürgen Klopp at its helm, Wirtz left no room for confusion. "I wanted to sign for one of the top three clubs in the world, and I bloody well think Liverpool fits the bill," the prodigious talent stated adamantly. Bayern Munich, who also sought Wirtz's talent, took a backseat in this match. It's the perfect moment in his career to take the next step, and Wirtz feels he's in the best possible hands with Liverpool. The length of his contract remains undisclosed, but British media speculate it's a five-year contract.
Reports Point to a Mind-Boggling €150 Million Transfer Fee
Figures for the transfer fee between the two clubs were kept under wraps. However, reports indicate it could reach as high as €150 million, including bonus payments. With this transfer, Wirtz becomes the most expensive German player ever. According to recent media reports, he'll join Liverpool's top earners immediately, with an annual salary of around €20 million.
Leaving Bayer Leverkusen was not a secret, but saying goodbye still stings. "Florian's departure hits us hard, and me personally, too," said Leverkusen's sports director, Simon Rolfes. "He joined us as a 16-year-old and built strong emotional bonds with many of us throughout the years."
Wirtz remains a part of Bayer 04, even though he's moving on. "It's bittersweet to leave after five and a half fantastic years," Wirtz said in his departure announcement. "It's been an honor to represent you, and I'm already looking forward to a sporting reunion."
"I Want to Win Everything, Bloody Everything!"
Thursday saw Wirtz touch down in England for mandatory medical tests, which were completed on Friday. Afterward, he signed his contract and returned to Germany, generating excitement among Liverpool fans about his impending arrival. Previously, Bayern Munich had been favored to claim Wirtz, but their bid was met with a rejection.
Wirtz has so far played 140 Bundesliga games and scored 35 goals. He's appeared 31 times for the German national team, scoring seven goals. Leverkusen is now losing its best player, and the Bundesliga will sorely miss one of its most captivating footballers. In his first video appearance for Liverpool, Wirtz left no doubt about his ambitions: "I want to bloody win everything, every year. But first, we've got our work cut out for us. I've got to do my part."
