Florian Wirtz should sign at Liverpool FC promptly. Not all “reds” professionals delight this message.
Almost exactly two years ago, Dominik Szoboszlai switched from RB Leipzig to Liverpool FC. Since then, the offensive midfielder has completed 94 games in the “Reds” jersey, won the championship with the team in the past season and was also able to look forward to the league cup with the team. However, the upcoming season could be a challenge for the Hungarian due to the likelihood of Florian Wirtz.
The German international is, according to the matching media reports, on Friday at the medical check in Liverpool. If everything works with the change, joke will be the most expensive transfer of the Bundesliga history-the Premier League club is said to pay 150 million euros from Bayer Leverkusen. In addition, according to the well-informed transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Wirtz should get around £ 200,000 a week. That would be around 12.2 million euros a year. However, Szoboszlai cannot be intimidated and sent an announcement to Wirtz.
Szoboszlai said in an interview with “Oghuncrew”: “I won’t give up my position so easily. I think he knows that it will be hard to get into a team that has won the Premier League and that it will be hard work.” Liverpool coach Arne Slot is said to want to use Florian Wirtz as a game designer between the two six Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch. The system would have an impact for Szoboszlai: it would then lose his regular position.
Szoboszlai knows about it and probably explained: “Of course, if you buy a player for 150 million euros, you will not put it on the bench. We have to find a way to play together.” The Hungarian could also switch to the wing.
On the X platform, fans already speculate about Wirtz’s possible obligation and a possible restructuring in the squad that would go hand in hand with it. So one person wrote: “No place for Elliott.” Ex-Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp was a sponsor of Harvey Elliott. However, the 22-year-old offensive midfielder came under slot last season only 18 missions in the Premier League. He only had six starting starts across competition.
With the occupation of Dominik Szoboszlai, Luis Díaz, Cody Gakpo or Diogo Jota, Elliott may be tight for Wirtz. The arrival of Florian Wirtz in Liverpool is eagerly awaited – also in the squad of the “Reds”.
