‘And it begins’ – Liverpool fans want to pay £200million for Florian Wirtz after spotting what he did to Bruno Fernandes
LIVERPOOL fans want to pay £200MILLION for Florian Wirtz after spotting what he did to Bruno Fernandes.
The Bayer Leverkusen star is a top target for the champions this summer after transforming into one of Europe’s premier playmakers.
Liverpool have already failed with a £110m bid for the 2024 Bundesliga title winner.
Leverkusen are thought to want £126m — which would make Wirtz the most expensive player in British football history.
But giddy Reds fans are prepared to bring him in for as much as £200m.
That’s after being blown away by his actions in last night’s Nations League semi-final between Germany and Portugal.

Wirtz opened the scoring in the crunch clash before Cristiano Ronaldo inspired his side to a 2-1 victory.
However, a collision with Manchester United captain Fernandes got plenty of Liverpool fans off their seats.
Both men challenge for a loose ball, with Fernandes going to ground as he slid along the turf.
Yet with each star stretching out a leg, Wirtz ended up raking the Red Devils skipper along the side of his ankle.

One noted: “£500k a week, he’s earned it.”
Another added: “I love him already.”
