Arne Slot has reportedly been key to convincing Florian Wirtz to snub Bayern Munich and join Liverpool this summer.

The 22-year-old is one of the biggest names in the transfer market, with Liverpool battling it out with Bayern to lure the Bayer Leverkusen star.

Manchester City had previously withdrawn their interest, leaving Bayern favourites to sign Wirtz.

However, a report in the สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ last week suggested. That the Reds have won over the player, who has scored 16 goals and provided 15 assists this season.

Florian’s father, Hans-Joachim Wirtz, reportedly informed Bayern executives Uli Hoeness. And Max Eberl of his son’s decision to join Liverpool during a phone call last week after the trio met . Wirtz’s father, who also acts as his agent, is said to

have spoken to the German club’s agent about his son’s decision to join Liverpool.

The 22-year-old is keen to seek a new challenge outside the Bundesliga after five years in Leverkusen’s first-team.

Wirtz’s decision not to opt for Bayern in favour of a move to Liverpool instead shocked club officials

and, according to German outlet Bild , a meeting with Slot on May 13 proved to be a key factor in Wirtz’s decision.

The report states that Leverkusen allowed the 22-year-old to speak to both the Dutch coach. And Vincent Kompany, with Wirtz travelling to England earlier this month.

During the meeting, Slot is said to have impressed Wirtz. Not only with him but also with the club and the fans.

In other news, discussions about Wirtz’s specific role also played a key role in his decision.

Slot was clear in his plans for where Wirtz would play in his team. And the German was promised that he would be a key part of Liverpool’s new attacking line.
