"With the high transfer fee for Flo, it was somehow clear that things could get very loud very quickly in England - unfortunately, that's the way the business works these days. It's not Flo's fault that he cost so much. Nevertheless, it's understandable that people expect a lot from him. I would like to see a bit more in-depth analysis here - and not just focus on the bare assists and goals."
"Following his £116m (€133m) move from Bayer Leverkusen, Wirtz is yet to register a direct goal involvement for the Reds in the Premier League and Champions League. The 22-year-old's only goal for club or country this season came in Germany's 3-1 win against Northern Ireland in September, while his only assist was in Liverpool's Community Shield loss against Crystal Palace."
Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for £116m (€133m) and has not yet recorded a direct goal involvement in Premier League or Champions League matches. He scored once for Germany this season and registered an assist in the Community Shield. After six Premier League matchdays, Wirtz led all top-flight players in chances created across competitions. Ilkay Gundogan said the high fee raised expectations, urged deeper analysis beyond goals and assists, defended Wirtz's quality, and called labeling the transfer a flop exaggerated. Wirtz previously had 79 goal contributions in 140 Bundesliga appearances for Leverkusen.
