Perhaps its deflection from the news stories that Wirtz liked Arne’s vision better and was left underwhelmed by Kompany…this way they can paint him as just going for the money.

Fantastic to see it all but officially confirmed - I’d imagine we won’t see a lean etc until he returns from holiday, whenever that is, but it seems like it’s in the bag.
I guess we’ll hold off the official welcome thread until the club has done all its unveiling PR, so we’ll keep this open for now.

Looks like it - there is a list of the transfers of 100m or more as part of the article on the BBC and none of them involve players going to or moving from German clubs
