In what is set to be one of the biggest transfers of the summer, Florian Wirtz has chosen Liverpool over European giants Manchester City and Bayern Munich, despite receiving concrete offers from both clubs.
The German midfield sensation has agreed personal terms with the Reds and is expected to join Arne Slot’s side in the coming days.
Speaking to sources close to the deal, Wirtz offered a surprisingly personal reason for his decision:
“Manchester City and Bayern Munich came with a good offer, but I chose to join Arne Slot’s team because of this particular player. I don’t want anything that will jeopardize our friendship, and I hope I won’t regret my decisions later,” Wirtz revealed.
While he didn’t name the player outright in the interview, insiders and multiple reports suggest Dominik Szoboszlai is the mystery man who played a pivotal role in convincing Wirtz to make the Anfield move. The two have built a strong bond over the years through youth international competitions and mutual respect on and off the pitch.
Wirtz’s decision comes as a major boost for Liverpool’s midfield rebuild under Arne Slot, who has made it clear he wants to dominate possession with intelligent, technically gifted players.
Liverpool fans are already buzzing at the prospect of a new midfield trio consisting of Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and Florian Wirtz – a combination filled with creativity, pace, and tactical brilliance.
“CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS DANGEROUS TRIO OF DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI, MAC ALLISTER AND FLORIAN WIRTZ!” one excited fan posted on X.
With Wirtz set to wear the red of Liverpool, expectations have skyrocketed for the 2025/26 campaign. Could this be the final piece in Liverpool’s puzzle to regain Premier League and European dominance?
One thing’s for sure – Arne Slot isn’t here to play. He’s here to win.
