Florian Wirtz has made the right decision choosing Liverpool - Supporters will fall in love

Florian Wirtz

Didi Hamann has predicted Liverpool supporters will ‘fall in love’ with Florian Wirtz and that he will quickly become a fan favourite at Anfield.

The Reds are in talks with Bayer Leverkusen over a potential club-record deal for the Germany international.

Bayern Munich had previously been favourites to land the midfielder’s signature, only for Liverpool to steal a march on the Bundesliga champions.

Hamann played for both Bayern and Liverpool during his playing career and thinks Wirtz is making the right decision in choosing the Reds over the Bavarians.

And he has made an exciting prediction about the 22-year-old, confident he will thrive at Anfield and ‘achieve great things’ with his former club.

Florian Wirtz has made a decision. I believe it's the right one,

“Things are really happening at Liverpool under Arne Slot.

“They'll sign, or want to sign, two or three other players, from what I hear. That's why I think Wirtz has made a very good decision.

"Liverpool is a global club, and they've demonstrated that in the negotiations.

“They've probably been in contact with Florian Wirtz for weeks or months, and they've never heard anything.

“I think the Wirtz family was also impressed by how they handled it: discreetly, quietly, all in the background.”

Hamann continued: “Florian Wirtz makes others better. I believe he's a player who can play anywhere. That's why he might have had the opportunity to go to Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

“Liverpool has fast players: Jeremie Frimpong is also moving to Liverpool, and Wirtz already knows him very well.

“Then you have players like Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz, and Mohamed Salah, who need to be showcased.

"It won't be long before the Liverpool fans fall in love with Florian Wirtz. I can't wait for him to wear the red jersey for the first time.

“I believe that after just a few weeks, he'll be a fan favourite and can and will achieve great things at Liverpool.”
