Florian Wirtz’s move to Liverpool has been the transfer story dominating the headlines over the last few weeks.

Bayern Munich and Manchester City were both interested in the midfielder to begin with, but Wirtz decided that his future would be best served at Liverpool.

There’s no denying that the money Liverpool will be forking out for the transfer of Wirtz will be a club-record fee.

Although a new number 10 wasn’t likely high on Slot’s priority list this summer, when a player of Wirtz’s quality becomes available on the market, it’s impossible for Liverpool to turn it down.

His ability to move the ball forward and find openings for his teammates are second-to-none, and with Wirtz in the squad, he’d be able to fulfil that role perfectly.

At the end of the day, the arrival of the German is a major statement of intent from Slot and Richard Hughes, and it’s hard to see how his addition to the squad wouldn’t help catapult the Liverpool manager to his first Champions League title.
