Florian Wirtz (AM) Bayer Leverkusen

It doesn’t though.

People who seem to know everything didn’t know something as basic as Slot going over to meet a player and reasons for that until a week later.

Seems to me more of play for a new wage, I assume if he doesn’t sign then we will be open to that offer but I do think we will offer him a new package.

Many people here probably don’t realize how much money that is for a Bundesliga club. It’s impossible to compare it with the money you deal with in the Premier League. And you don’t get an opportunity to get that much money every day in the Bundesliga. It’s much bigger than some people here realize, and it opens up opportunities for the club that wouldn’t be possible otherwise.

I agree they are a team who have won the Budesliege and probably want to give themselves a good chance of competing for that trophy again hence why they were not too keen on selling to Bayern.

So poor Arne had to head down to the south of France at this time of year - sort it out FSG you’ll send this man to an early grave!

I don’t know iff Leverkusen refused to sell to Bayern or Wirtz just didn’t want to be another German making the move to Bayern. Either way it’s great news for us. We have another 2months to get this done. There is no immediate rush, but I would imagine this will be completed after Germany’s nations league commitments.

Hope it’s announced before the 27th though as I’m in Germany for a cultural beer tasting long weekend. I would like to sport my new shirt.

Switching to Adidas I’m sure it’s a great coup for Adidas advertising also.

He is under contract with Adidas already. Think that surely helped with the decision.

It’s imperative that we get the signing done as quickly as possible because the sooner Wirtz is in the preseason, the better for us.

Social media has made the Transfer window unbearable. This is because the tweet farmers always need to have something to say when they don’t.

Pre-season doesn’t start till 4th of July and with him playing this pointless Nations league games will possibly get an extra week off.

Guy is already trying to down tools and skive off before he’s even started, FFS! Sell him now (before we buy him) while there is still time.

I liked how we used to just announce dudes instead of having transfer sagas which have lasted (checks notes) 11 days.

Thats before social media.

I like how 11 days are a saga now

Yeah, and it was still May or it’s still only June…

Whether it’s announced today or in a week, two or so, it has zero impact on pre-season.

World operates on panic mode, you get even some people who are meh, 50-50 or against this transfer in a “announce it already!” mode.

The club has spoiled us.

:joy:

Fact we’re hearing anything is fairly remarkable, been LFC’s trend to make an announcement out of nowhere.

I don’t think we have said much ourselves. Most of the noise was coming from Bayern.
