There's a major twist in the transfer saga surrounding Florian Wirtz. Instead of opting for Bayern, the German national footballer has apparently chosen a different club. This is reported by well-informed transfer experts Fabrizio Romano and Florian Plettenberg ('Sky'). 

He is said to have already given his commitment to Liverpool FC, Plettenberg reported. The Reds are therefore expected to make an offer to the Buli clubs shortly. 

As Romano also reported, the LFC bosses are confident of closing the deal soon. It's not expected to be a long transfer saga.

The 22-year-old Wirtz has been repeatedly linked with various top clubs, but is now taking the next step in his career with the Reds. Wirtz moved to Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 and developed into a world-class player there. In 2023/24, he won the double with Leverkusen.

According to 'Sport1', coach Arne Slot was particularly influential in the decision. The Dutchman was able to convince Wirtz in a personal conversation. 

What do you think of Wirtz's decision? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
