Florian Wirtz explains why he chose Liverpool

The most expensive new signing in Premier League history revealed the conversation with coach Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes that made him choose Liverpool.

Wirtz sees this as a new adventure, as he leaves the Bundesliga to try his hand at the Premier League.

“I feel very happy and proud,” Wirtz said on his Liverpool debut. “It’s finally done, I’ve waited a long time – and I’m really excited.” He also thanked Liverpool fans for their support: “I’m really looking forward to playing against them and achieving great things together. Sorry for the wait!”

On the morning of June 21, the reigning Premier League champions completed the signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. According to Sky Sports , Liverpool spent £116 million to own Wirtz, thereby making him the most expensive new player in Premier League history, surpassing the record held by Moises Caicedo when he joined Chelsea for £115 million.

Not stopping there, the German midfielder also became the third most expensive star in the history of world transfers, only after Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. This duo made history when joining PSG for 200 million pounds and 163 million pounds respectively.

Wirtz believes that this is the right time for him to move on in his career, aiming for a top 3 club in the world: “In my opinion, Liverpool are one of the 3 strongest clubs in the world. I feel that I will be looked after best at Liverpool. I am really convinced by the people here, the idea, and everything the club offers is great. In the end, choosing Liverpool was an easy decision for me.”

"After initial discussions with coach Slot and sporting director Hughes, I was 100% convinced that I wanted to join Liverpool. This was the best choice," he confirmed.
