Florian Wirtz, who expressed big dreams at 18, is poised to leave Bayer Leverkusen for Liverpool, marking a departure from the trend of German stars moving to Bayern Munich. Liverpool’s €109m bid reflects their ambition to secure a statement signing, as Wirtz brings creativity and end product after scoring 34 goals in two seasons. His arrival raises questions about his role in the squad, especially alongside Dominik Szoboszlai, but suggests a shift in Liverpool’s strategy towards investing in an attacking midfielder rather than a striker.
