Florian Wirtz, the 22-year-old German attacking midfielder for Bayer Leverkusen, has publicly dismissed rumors that he is seeking the iconic No. 10 shirt at Liverpool in the event of a transfer to Anfield this summer. The statement comes amid growing speculation that the Bundesliga side’s star player is on the verge of a high-profile move to the Premier League. While the exact terms of the potential transfer have not been revealed, Wirtz’s clarification on the jersey preference indicates that his transfer to Liverpool is no longer speculative but rather a subject of serious negotiation.
Wirtz’s comments are the most definitive indication yet that a transfer to Liverpool is in motion, although the final details remain undisclosed. The Bundesliga club has been linked with the player for several months, with reports suggesting that Leverkusen may be seeking a substantial fee for the player’s services. However, the player himself has not confirmed any details about the potential transfer, aside from his denial of the No. 10 jersey rumor. The situation remains closely watched by football fans and analysts alike, who are keen to see whether Wirtz’s move to Anfield will materialize this summer.
