Florian Wirtz has given Liverpool a glimpse of what they could be getting this summer with his fiery remarks in the media.

The German international is high on Liverpool's wish list as they look to build for the future after clinching their 20th league title this term.

And the Reds are already making strides in their quest to secure reinforcements to successfully defend their crown next season, with Anfield chiefs triggering Jeremie Frimpong's £30million buyout clause - with confirmation of their first summer signing anticipated to land in days.



It is reported that Liverpool have also reached out to Frimpong's Bayer Leverkusen colleague, Wirtz, to share their interest.

Wirtz demonstrated his candid nature last summer when a TikTok video from the German national team went viral.

In the video, he ranked his favourite foods, saying: "Normal potatoes I would say are number one." This comment became a humorous talking point within German football, with fans superimposing potato images onto his face, and the quote even featuring in summer dance tracks.

However, Wirtz failed to see the humour in it.

His mindset was clearly displayed in a succinct five-word response during an interview with Kicker, saying: "I don't find it entertaining." He added: "Especially those who know me - and myself - don't understand why that blew up."

Unlike some young talents who may develop inflated egos, Wirtz remains well-liked among his team-mates.

He's the full package."

Elsewhere, BILD reported that Wirtz and his family are pushing for a Leverkusen exit this summer, with rumors of a verbal agreement with Bayern Munich circulating, only to be countered by skeptical German media.
