Florian Wirtz, Liverpool’s record signing at £116 million, has expressed excitement about his move and insisted the hefty price tag does not bother him. He emphasized his focus on playing football and fitting into the team rather than the financial aspect of the transfer. Wirtz highlighted the intensity and physicality of the Premier League compared to the Bundesliga and remarked on the importance of adapting to this new environment to improve his game.

Wirtz described himself as a player who enjoys freedom on the pitch but also respects his position. He aims to create chances and work hard defensively to help the team, emphasizing his willingness to run a lot and bring his teammates into better situations. The young midfielder praised Liverpool teammate Hugo Ekitike as a really good player and welcomed the presence of many new signings, which he believes helps him settle at Anfield.

Reflecting on his choice to join Liverpool amid interest from top clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich, Wirtz said he felt Liverpool under manager Thomas Tuchel suited his style and ambitions. He is looking forward to the challenge of competing in the Premier League and helping Liverpool win the title again, bringing his Bundesliga-winning experience to the club.

Wirtz’s arrival follows a stellar Bundesliga campaign with Bayer Leverkusen, where he won the player-of-the-year award and led the team to their first league title in 2023-24. His technical and athletic attributes, combined with his dynamic playing style, have generated high expectations at Liverpool as he embarks on this new chapter of his career.
