Indeed, the fee broke Liverpool’s club record, but judging by the numbers he put out last season, he looks to be an impressive coup.

Just last week, Liverpool fans were in uproar to find out that Trent Alexander-Arnold was able to speak fluent Spanish.

Although most knew the move was in the works for most of the 2024-25 campaign, the Englishman’s Anfield exit still hurt fans, with many believing he’d betrayed his boyhood club.

Wirtz’s move to Liverpool was made official on Friday evening, and he managed to address the media in fluent English, which Tony Cascarino believed to be somewhat “strange.”

“Do you know what’s strange, you know last weekend we had the Trent interview in Spanish and we were talking about how incredible it was, he’s just done an interview in English and it’s so comfortable,” he said live on talkSPORT.

“It’s like wow, he comes over and does an interview and every word is absolutely spot on, it’s incredible how many players come from abroad and just come to the country and go ‘yeah I can talk English well enough’.”

If Liverpool weren’t already dominant enough last season, the 2025-26 campaign is gearing up to be something special.

Milos Kerkez is the next one expected to be welcomed, but reports have suggested that others, such as Alexander Isak and Crystal Palace’s captain Marc Guehi, could also be on their way.

This summer was set to be one full of change for Liverpool from the start, but none of their fans would have been expecting them to do as much business as this.

Of course, a massive squad overhaul can have a detrimental effect to start off with, but as they get into the swing of things, it’s hard to see how they’d be stopped.
