Jürgen Klopp still follows what happens to his ex-club FC Liverpool. His opinion on the change from Florian Wirtz to Anfield is clear.
Florian Wirtz will bear the liverpool jersey in the future. The Reds signed the national player from the German runner -up Bayer Leverkusen – and reached deep into their pockets. According to media reports, the transfer fee including possible bonus payments is up to 150 million euros.
Praise for this coup comes from someone who knows the club very well: Jürgen Klopp. The long -time coach of FC Liverpool was enthusiastic about the newcomer at RTL/NTV. “It will be very, really great, I’m sure of that,” said Klopp. The English champion had already had “a fantastic team” last season. It was difficult to strengthen such a team, “but Liverpool did that,” he said. With Wirtz you have committed an “extraordinary talent”. Klopp looks forward to seeing him play.
The 22-year-old Wirtz signed a long-term contract with the club of coach Arne Slot. The first missions for his new club could follow in July: On July 13, a friendly against Preston North End is pending. Then Liverpool travels to Asia. The AC Milan in Hong Kong and the Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan are waiting on July 26th.
The first competitive game in the Premier League will be on August 15th – on the local Anfield Road against Bournemouth.
