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’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.

Liverpool FC’s potential signing of German football star Florian Wirtz for a purported €150 million ($170 million) would not only leave Bayern Munich in the lurch, it’s also likely to rekindle debate about the Bundesliga’s ability to compete with Europe’s more lucrative leagues for talent.
