Füllkrug commented, “Wherever he ends up, I believe he’ll thrive, and if it’s Liverpool, I’m confident he would significantly strengthen the team.”
Wirtz has enjoyed an impressive 2024–25 campaign with Bayer Leverkusen, tallying 16 goals and 14 assists across 45 matches. His standout performances have drawn interest from several top clubs across Europe.
Füllkrug’s praise further fuels speculation around the transfer, underlining Wirtz’s potential to boost Liverpool’s attacking prowess.
