Florian Wirtz’s future has been something of a hot topic over the last few weeks, with Liverpool leading the way for his transfer.

The German could end up being the signing of the summer for Arne Slot, especially since Wirtz is only 22 years old and is already highly regarded as one of the best number 10s in world football.

The numbers he’s put out this season also match up to the statement of him being one of the world’s best.

The Englishman even shared a cryptic message about his Liverpool future after they lost 3-2 to Brighton in their penultimate game of the campaign.

 “I think once you start including players like Harvey Elliott and Quansah, I think that’s when you’re massively in the territory of reducing the fee that you’re paying.

“Those players are worth, you know, X amounts of money, certainly in the case of Elliott, you know, what similar age to Florian Wirtz, all the numbers that he’s accrued at Liverpool, you know, the appearances and goals and assists and whatever else, he’s worth what?

Throughout the 2024-25 season, however, Elliott hasn’t been afforded that much of a chance from Slot and with Wirtz more than likely to come in at some point this summer, there will be even less of a chance for him to feature.

The midfielder will no doubt be worth a pretty penny in today’s market, and with Liverpool being linked with moves for players such as Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Wirtz, some sales will have to be made.
