The Premier League has just been put on red alert. Liverpool’s latest mega-signing, Florian Wirtz, has finally spoken following his high-profile switch from Bayer Leverkusen — and his words are already making waves. 💣

The 22-year-old midfield sensation sealed a jaw-dropping £100 million transfer to Anfield, with an additional £16 million in performance-related bonuses. According to reports, he’s signed a five-year deal, potentially earning up to £245,000 per week depending on team and individual success.

In his first official interview with the Reds, the German star couldn’t hide his excitement — and neither could the fans.

🗣️ “I’m proud, excited, and more than ready,” Wirtz told Liverpool’s media team. “It’s something I’ve waited for — a whole new chapter in a whole new league. I needed this challenge.”

He didn’t stop there. The attacking midfielder made it clear he didn’t come to Merseyside just for the experience — he came with silverware in sight.

🔥 “I’m not here for fun,” he declared boldly. “I want to win. I want to give the fans everything they deserve — and more. I see this move as the perfect opportunity to elevate my game.”

Having already spoken to players familiar with English football, Wirtz said the feedback was unanimous — the Premier League is built for a player like him.

When asked about his ambitions, he didn’t hesitate: “I want to win everything — again and again. The team just won the league, and I want to help make that happen again… and go even further in Europe.”

💬 Fans immediately took to social media with reactions:

“Elite mentality!”

“Salah will love this guy’s hunger!”

“Perfect mindset from day one.”

“He didn’t come here to have fun… he came to conquer. I love that.”


In a detailed Q&A released by the club, Wirtz explained why Liverpool was his preferred destination.

🔍 Why the Reds?

“It felt like the right time to leave the Bundesliga and challenge myself at one of the top clubs in the world. From the moment I spoke with Arne Slot and the team, everything just clicked. I was convinced this is where I need to be.”

🏟️ Even his family, he revealed, were fully on board: “They’ll love visiting Anfield. They know how special this club is.”

Reflecting on his previous encounter against Liverpool — a harsh 4-0 loss — Wirtz admitted that the experience only deepened his admiration.

💪 “The intensity, the pressure, the energy… it was unbelievable. I knew then that I wanted to be part of that.”

Now, with the deal confirmed and his new journey underway, all eyes will be on Wirtz as he prepares to light up Anfield — and possibly reshape Liverpool’s future.
