Florian Wirtz has revealed how his first conversation with Arne Slot convinced him to make the move to Liverpool
The 22-year-old has completed his switch from Bayer Leverkusen for an initial £100m fee with a further £16m in add-ons, which if achieved will make it a British transfer record.
Wirtz has signed a five-year contract and follows Jeremie Frimpong, who has been helping him learn English, in making the move from Leverkusen to Liverpool.
Speaking in his first interview since the transfer was made official, Wirtz was asked about the discussions he had with Slot when considering his future.
“The conversations were always really good,” Wirtz said.
“I can remember the first time, he already showed me some scenes of how we want to play and how I could fit in the team. He was just telling me that I'm a player he really wants to have in his team and can bring the team a step forward.
“I just could imagine it [being] good to be in the team and to make it better because I have to make my performances every week – but I'm here for this.”
