The head coach of "Liverpool" Arne Slot commented on the expensive signing of Bayer midfielder Florian Wirtz.

Florian Wirtz

— Yes, this says a lot about the level of development that "Liverpool" is at. We are not just thinking: "Should we buy a midfielder?" This is a long-term project. This is how the club has been operating in the transfer market over the past few years. We targeted a player who could benefit the club. Then we tried to acquire him. Everything went successfully with Florian, which is why he is a "Liverpool" player, — said Arne Slot.

Let us remind you that "Liverpool" paid around 130 million euros for the transfer of Florian Wirtz.
