Wirtz's Liverpool Move: Unfulfilled Hype?
20 Dec
Summary
- Wirtz joined Liverpool for a then-record fee but hasn't scored.
- He expressed high ambitions for winning trophies with the team.
- Alexander Isak has since surpassed Wirtz's transfer fee.
The arrival of Wirtz at Liverpool was met with considerable excitement, highlighted by a then-Premier League record transfer fee. He joined with clear aspirations of achieving major trophy success and embarking on a new challenge outside the Bundesliga.
Wirtz expressed immense happiness and pride upon completing the move, eager for his new adventure and confident in his ability to perform. He aimed to win every competition annually, starting with retaining the Premier League title and progressing further in the Champions League.
However, as of December 20, 2025, Wirtz's impact has been limited, with no goals scored in all competitions, despite providing five assists. This contrasts with his stated ambition and the subsequent record transfer of teammate Alexander Isak.
