Florian Wirtz, Liverpool's record signing with a £116 million price tag, has opened up about his transition to the Premier League and his ambitions with the club. Wirtz, who joined Liverpool after a stellar spell at Bayer Leverkusen where he helped secure their first league title in 2023-24 and earned the Bundesliga Player of the Year, insists that the hefty transfer fee does not affect his mindset. He is focused purely on playing football and contributing to the team’s success rather than financial aspects of transfers.

Wirtz praised the intensity and physicality of the Premier League, acknowledging it is a faster and more demanding competition compared to the Bundesliga. Still, he is eager to adapt by learning and leveraging his unique qualities, such as his running capability and ability to create chances while supporting defensive duties. He aims to find the right spaces on the pitch to enhance Liverpool's attacking play and empower his teammates.

The young midfielder highlighted the benefit of having many new players at Liverpool, which helps him settle more comfortably. He also mentioned good on-field chemistry with fellow new signing Hugo Ekitike. Wirtz’s ambition is clear: to win the Premier League title again with Liverpool, emphasizing the challenge and collective goals at Anfield.

When choosing Liverpool over other interested clubs, including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Manchester City, Wirtz felt a strong fit with manager Mark Slot’s style of play. He conveyed confidence and happiness about his first weeks at Liverpool, expressing excitement about competing in one of the toughest leagues worldwide.
