BREAKING: Florian Wirtz Explains Why He Chose Liverpool Over Man City and Bayern – One Teammate Tipped the Scales
In a stunning development this transfer window, German prodigy Florian Wirtz has reportedly turned down offers from both Manchester City and Bayern Munich in favor of a move to Liverpool, having agreed to personal terms with the club.
Wirtz pointed to a personal bond as the key reason behind his decision, stating:
“City and Bayern had compelling offers, but there’s one player at Liverpool I just couldn’t walk away from. I really hope I won’t come to regret this choice.”
While Wirtz didn’t name the individual, insiders believe it was Dominik Szoboszlai—his close friend and longtime youth rival—who played a pivotal role in convincing him to choose the Reds.
Now, with Wirtz joining forces with Szoboszlai and Mac Allister, Liverpool supporters are envisioning a formidable midfield trio set to thrive under Arne Slot in the 2025/26 season.
A fresh chapter is unfolding at Anfield—and Wirtz might just be the centerpiece.
