“What Liverpool Are Doing Is Completely Unfair”: German Star Crushed as Reds Abandon Transfer Deal
A major shake-up in the transfer market has left a German forward from Bayer Leverkusen feeling devastated after Liverpool abruptly backed out of a nearly completed deal. The Reds reportedly shifted their focus to fellow German international Florian Wirtz, whose stellar performance in the Nations League semi-final against Portugal caught their attention.
The unnamed attacker, who had been in advanced negotiations with Liverpool, expressed his frustration with the sudden reversal. “What Liverpool are doing is completely unfair,” he said. “We had agreed everything, and then they dropped me at the last moment just because of one strong performance from my teammate.”
Wirtz, 22, delivered an eye-catching display despite Germany’s 2-1 loss, scoring a classy goal and impressing with his creativity and technical skill. That performance is said to have swayed Liverpool’s top brass, who restructured their transfer plans to prioritize signing him. Although Leverkusen initially turned down Liverpool’s £109 million bid, demanding £126 million, recent reports suggest Liverpool’s ownership has green-lit a revised £125 million offer—putting the deal on the verge of completion.
This abrupt change has left the previously favored forward feeling deeply let down. “It’s hard to accept that a club would change its mind over one game,” he said. “I was ready to wear the Liverpool shirt, and now it feels like that dream has been taken away for no good reason.”
The incident underscores how unpredictable and emotionally charged football transfers can be. While Wirtz’s move to Anfield appears imminent, the fallout has raised questions about Liverpool’s approach and its consequences for the players involved. For the dropped forward, the road to finding a new club—and recovering from the disappointment—begins once more.
