Liverpool’s newest signing, Florian Wirtz, arrives with high expectations — and a ringing endorsement from Jurgen Klopp himself.
Though no longer in charge, the former manager remains deeply connected to the club and had nothing but praise for the 22-year-old midfielder.
Klopp said, “It will be really, really great, I’m sure of it. They’ve signed an exceptional talent in Florian Wirtz. I’m looking forward to seeing, it’s going to be good.”
Wirtz arrives at Anfield on a five‑year contract until June 2030, following a club-record deal reportedly worth £100 million upfront plus up to £16 million in add-ons—a combined total of around £116 million.
Klopp, who tracked Wirtz’s development in the Bundesliga, believes the 22-year-old has the tools to thrive in the Premier League and elevate Liverpool’s attacking play.

Florian Wirtz sets the tone with bold Liverpool statement
Florian Wirtz arrives at Liverpool in top form, bringing both quality and ambition. In all competitions last season, he recorded 16 goals and 15 assists in 45 appearances, underlining his reputation as one of Europe’s most effective young midfielders.
His tactical intelligence, ability to break lines, and calmness under pressure make him a perfect fit for Slot’s fluid attacking system.
Wirtz has already made his intentions clear:
“I’m so happy! I didn’t come here to have fun… I’m here to win everything. I would like to win everything every year! First of all, we have to do our work — I have to make my work.”
Wirtz brings more than just talent — he brings a winning mindset. Liverpool aren’t just trying to improve; they’re aiming to win.
The ambition is clear, the stats back it, and this could be the signing that shapes their future.
