Germany men’s national team coach Julian Nagelsmann weighed in on Friday’s bombshell news that superstar attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz had rejected a move to Germany Rekordmeister Bayern Munich in favor of Premier League giants Liverpool FC.

Florian Wirtz has been strongly linked with a summer transfer to Liverpool following interest from Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid.

While he may drift unnoticed between the lines on the pitch, Wirtz has been unable to escape the headlines during an early season transfer saga. The sought-after playmaker was initially thought to be subject of a three-way tussle between Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid.

The Reds have already sealed a deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong, although the transfer hasn’t been officially announced, with the Netherlands international to replace Real Madrid-bound right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Liverpool have spared no expense in their agreement with Florian Wirtz after details began to filter through, and when the Reds expect to seal the deal with Bayer Leverkusen has also come to light.

While, as is often the case, there were differing views at Bayern, Liverpool, on the other hand, outlined a highly professional and appealing plan for Wirtz, which matters the most to the player. He is set to become the new central figure in midfield at Liverpool as a playmaker, with Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister behind him.

Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann believes Florian Wirtz’s potential move to Liverpool would be a ‘very good step’ for the Bayer Leverkusen star. The Reds were crowned Premier League champions at the end of April with Arne Slot’s men winning the title at a canter in the Dutchman’s first season at the club.

The latest update on the transfer saga involving Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz has been issued and it will attract the attention of Liverpool fans. Wirtz, 22, is one of the most highly rated players in Europe and will be one of the most sought-after players this summer.
