Joining Anfield's home team at a huge price, midfielder Florian Wirtz confirmed that he did not feel the pressure on the transfer fee of 100 million pounds.
Florian Wirtz moved to Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen with a transfer fee that could increase to £ 116 million if the additional terms. Although the new team must compete with Bayern Munich and Man City to get their signatures, Wirtz still proved very calm before the great expectations from NHM.
“I don't think of that”Wirtz shared after Liverpool's friendly victory over Athletic Club. “I just want to play football. The clubs spend a lot of money with each other has nothing to do with me.”
The 22-year-old had an impressive start at the new team when he scored the first goal for Liverpool in the match against Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan last week and continued to shine in a 3-2 victory over Athletic Club.

“I am really enjoying the first weeks”he said. “Monday was the first time I was playing in Anfield. I really like this place. I came here because I felt I was suitable for the team. I am very happy to play with these teammates.
I am a player who needs freedom on the pitch and the coach gave me that. Of course, I have to respect the position and the surrounding teammates, but I will try to devote my best and find the appropriate position. ”
Liverpool had a vibrant summer in the transfer market. Besides Florian Wirtz, the Anfield team also recruited former teammate Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen, defender Milos Kerkez of Bournemouth and striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who joined from Valencia last summer but was lent in La Liga, also joined the whole team.
When asked about preparing to play in the Premier League, Wirtz said: “I haven't played any in the Premier League, but I look forward to that. Of course there will be a difference from the Bundesliga, but I want to learn to become complete.”
