Germany men’s national team coach Julian Nagelsmann weighed in on Friday’s bombshell news that superstar attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz had rejected a move to Germany Rekordmeister Bayern Munich in favor of Premier League giants Liverpool FC.

Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann believes Florian Wirtz would be making a "very good step" if a proposed big-money switch to Liverpool goes through in the summer transfer window.

Florian Wirtz has been strongly linked with a summer transfer to Liverpool following interest from Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid.

The club had met with Wirtz and his family expecting to finalize a deal, only to be told that move was not going to happen. As for what changed the playmaker’s mind, Liverpool coach Arne Slot appears to have had a lot to do with the change of the heart:

Liverpool are in talks with Florian Wirtz and should they strike a deal with Bayer Leverkusen, they could hand Bayern Munich major disappointment following their public transfer pursuit

While he may drift unnoticed between the lines on the pitch, Wirtz has been unable to escape the headlines during an early season transfer saga. The sought-after playmaker was initially thought to be subject of a three-way tussle between Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid.

Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann believes Florian Wirtz’s potential move to Liverpool would be a ‘very good step’ for the Bayer Leverkusen star. The Reds were crowned Premier League champions at the end of April with Arne Slot’s men winning the title at a canter in the Dutchman’s first season at the club.

Liverpool have spared no expense in their agreement with Florian Wirtz after details began to filter through, and when the Reds expect to seal the deal with Bayer Leverkusen has also come to light.
