Florian Wirtz
22-Year-Old
Liverpool
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wirtz was a target for all of Europe's elite throughout the summer transfer window but eventually landed with the Premier League champions. He's a sublime creator and finisher, tallying 21 goals and 23 assists across the past two Bundesliga seasons, while creating 131 chances with a minimal role on set pieces. His arrival should immediately push Dominik Szoboszlai back into his more natural role as a box-to-box midfielder, with Wirtz the unquestioned starting attacking midfielder. Wirtz should take on some kind of set-piece role, though it's unlikely to be a major one. The sky is the limit for Wirtz in his first season in the Premier League, with the potential for him to be one of the most productive players from a goal contribution standpoint.
Completes Liverpool switch
Wirtz completed a transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Wirtz's move to Liverpool had been in the works for quite some time, but the deal is finally official, and one of the best players in the Bundesliga over the last two seasons will strengthen one of the most dangerous attacking lines in Europe. Wirtz scored 10 goals and added 12 assists in 31 appearances (25 starts) in the Bundesliga in 2024/25 for Leverkusen. He should find a role in the starting line in the attacking line alongside Mohamed Salah, leaving the likes of Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota to fight for the remaining role in the starting lineup. Wirtz's combination of creativity, flair, vision and scoring ability should make him an absolute joy to watch in the Premier League, and he shouldn't need a lot of time to become a key player for the Reds based on what he showed over the last two season at both the domestic and continental level with Leverkusen.
