Football fans are often given a glimpse of their favorite players’ personal lives thanks to social media, and occasionally, it offers a sneak peek at what’s to come.
That’s exactly what happened when two football stars shared a fun holiday moment online this week.
While the timing might be purely coincidental, it only added fuel to the fire of growing excitement around their impending transfers.
This photograph sparked intrigue, as many fans are eagerly awaiting news of official announcements regarding player moves.
After all, summer transfer windows are always a spectacle, and this one is shaping up to be one for the books.
Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, both stars from Bayer Leverkusen, recently shared a holiday photograph on Instagram while enjoying a boat trip together.
The image instantly grabbed the attention of Liverpool fans, teasing them with the prospect of what’s to come.
Wirtz, who is close to completing a £116 million ($159m) move to Anfield, is set to follow Frimpong to Merseyside.
The duo, who are already bonding off the field, will most likely reunite at Liverpool as part of an exciting new chapter for the club.
The deal for Wirtz, a German international and Bundesliga sensation, includes a £100m upfront fee and £16m in add-ons, making it a club-record transfer for Liverpool.
The move could potentially break the British transfer record if all bonuses are triggered.
Wirtz, who had been heavily linked with Bayern Munich, made it clear that he preferred a move to Liverpool, signalling his ambitions to play in the Premier League.
His move is now nearly official, with the 22-year-old set to undergo a medical later this week.
Wirtz will join Frimpong at Liverpool and will reportedly sign a five-year contract, keeping him at Anfield until 2030.
The two players are expected to integrate quickly into new head coach Arne Slot’s plans.
With the start of pre-season approaching, Liverpool fans are hopeful that the pair will hit the ground running as the team aims for another successful campaign.
