Bundesliga legend Felix Magath advised Nick Woltemade to "take a leaf out of" Florian Wirtz's book before signing for a big club like Bayern Munich.

Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes has opened up on how Liverpool beat Bayern Munich and Manchester City to secure the transfer for German sensation Florian Wirtz this summer. Wirtz opted to move to Anfield for a British record transfer fee of £116 million ($159m) despite strong interest from Bundesliga champions Bayern and the Cityzens.

Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes wants to use funds from Florian Wirtz’s mega sale to create a title-winning team.

Liverpool paid a record-breaking fee to acquire the services of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, and Thomas Muller feels the price was 'unreal'.

Ex-Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has warned Florian Wirtz that his £116m price tag will put a target on his back.
