It’s becoming increasingly clear that Liverpool are on the verge of securing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen—and the player himself may have just dropped a major hint about the move on Instagram.
The German international, who is reportedly set to cost the Reds over £126 million if the deal goes through this summer, was said to be eyeing the No. 10 shirt—currently worn by Alexis Mac Allister.
However, Wirtz has dismissed those claims, urging fans not to “believe everything that’s written.”
It would’ve been a bold move to arrive at Anfield for a record fee and immediately claim the jersey of one of the club’s key players—but that no longer seems to be the case.
Although Wirtz denied the shirt number rumours, his social media activity appears to have unintentionally confirmed that a transfer to Liverpool is in the works.
While the club has yet to officially announce the signing—which would mark a record-breaking deal for Liverpool—all signs point to an imminent confirmation.
Fans got a taste of what Wirtz could bring to Merseyside earlier today, as a viral clip showed him scoring a stunning goal during training with the German national team ahead of their Nations League semifinal against Portugal.
