Florian Wirtz Liverpool agreement reached as Gary Lineker makes fresh prediction
Bayer Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro said Liverpool's commitment and Wirtz's Champions League ambitions outweighed Real Madrid's lack of direct bid, with a £116 million deal sealed.
- The Reds secured Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for a then-British record 116m, beating interest from Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and links to Real Madrid.
- Liverpool's contract priority meant they aggressively pursued Wirtz while Real Madrid's transfers are run by Florentino Perez, and Wirtz family respected his Champions League ambition, influencing his choice.
- Playing time details reveal Florian Wirtz has three assists from 14 appearances and started just two of the last six matches, often coming on as a substitute.
- Slot may recall Wirtz for Tuesday's clash, while Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to Anfield in Real Madrid's squad after limited playtime this season.
- Coaches and pundits argue that club staff and Arne Slot stress patience as Florian Wirtz adapts to Premier League intensity, with Xabi Alonso saying, `I have no doubts, it's just a matter of time.
