'We're not robots'- Tottenham duo conquer with Manchester City player on packed football calendar
Tottenham's coach and captain both agreed that football nowadays is not about the quality but the quantity of games.
Xabi Alonso's connection to Liverpool adds an intriguing dimension to this potential transfer. The former Reds midfielder has previously praised Wirtz, comparing his playing style to that of Lionel Messi, emphasizing his ability to make intelligent plays and smart passes.
Alonso’s presence could play a pivotal role in convincing Wirtz to join Liverpool, especially given the mutual respect shared between the two.
Despite the swirling transfer rumors, Wirtz's father and agent has emphasized his son’s commitment to Leverkusen, stating, "Florian has a contract in Leverkusen. He’s looking forward to next year when he can play in the Champions League with Leverkusen for the first time." However, with three years left on his current deal, Leverkusen holds all the leverage in negotiations, making a move more complicated.
Liverpool will have an opportunity to assess Wirtz firsthand when Bayer Leverkusen visits Anfield in the Champions League.
This high-stakes match will showcase Wirtz's talents and will serve as a platform for Liverpool to gauge their potential investment in the player.
With the young midfielder emerging as one of Europe’s most coveted talents, the prospect of him donning the Liverpool jersey has fans buzzing with excitement.
Only time will tell if Wirtz will make the leap to the Premier League, but the signs indicate that Liverpool is ready to make their move.
