Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos has backed Florian Wirtz to do well at Liverpool amid reports linking him with a move to Merseyside. Kroos believes that the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder has the tools to succeed at any club in the world.
Talking about Wirtz at the Icon League, Kroos stated that judgements about such decisions can only be made after a while. However, he backed his compatriot to succeed wherever he ends up next season. He said (via One Football):
Liverpool are reportedly in talks over a stunning bid of over €100 million to sign Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. Manchester City have already backed out of the race for the German star, who has also been linked with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
Lothar Matthaus was on Sky Germany on Sunday when he claimed that Florian Wirtz was taking on a big challenge by moving to Liverpool. He stated that it was not just a new club but a new league too for the German midfielder. He said (via GOAL):
Matthaus also claimed that Wirtz rejected a move to Bayern Munich because of competition from Jamal Musiala. He added:
Real Madrid were linked with the Bayer Leverkusen star as Xabi Alonso has been appointed as Los Blancos’ manager.
