Liverpool's Wirtz warned

Cape Argus

September 05, 2025

GERMANY coach Julian Nagelsmann on Monday backed new Liverpool recruit Florian Wirtz to return to his best form after a low-key start to his Premier League career.

Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer for €125 million plus bonuses, but has not stood out despite the Reds winning their first three matches.

Speaking to reporters in Bratislava before Germany's World Cup qualifier against Slovakia yesterday, Nagelsmann called the 22-year-old midfielder "a key player for us".

The coach said Wirtz had "not been incredibly dominant", and added he needed time to adjust at Liverpool.

"You have to look at the whole gang playing around him. They've spent a few euros on the top squad they've got there and you don't always stand out as an individual.

"Rather it's the overall construct which should work - and it does work.
