Florian Wirtz Chooses Liverpool, Spurning City and Bayern
German prodigy Florian Wirtz has reportedly committed his future to Liverpool, rejecting lucrative proposals from Manchester City and Bayern Munich in what may prove the shock transfer coup of the summer.
Long courted by Europe’s biggest sides, the 21‑year‑old creative midfielder has settled on Anfield, having already agreed personal terms. Asked about the decision, Wirtz offered a cryptic explanation:
“City and Bayern made fantastic offers, but there’s one player at Liverpool I simply couldn’t say no to. I just hope I won’t regret it.”
Sources suggest that player is his close friend Dominik Szoboszlai. The pair forged a bond as standout youngsters on opposite sides of the German‑Hungarian border, and insiders say Szoboszlai’s persuasion proved decisive.
Wirtz now slots into Arne Slot’s emerging project, joining Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister to form what could become one of Europe’s most inventive and energetic midfields.
For Liverpool fans, it feels like the dawn of a post‑Klopp era built around a new creative hub—with Wirtz tipped to shine as its brightest star.
