Wirtz arrived at Liverpool with a lot of expectation on his shoulders thanks to his £116million price tag and didn't get off to the best start on Merseyside. ‌Wirtz failed to score or assist in his first 12 Premier League games for his new club before things picked up in December. "It's sometimes good that things don't always go upwards and that you experience a dip and grow stronger because of it. Even when the start wasn't easy, I am so happy I decided like this [to join Liverpool]." He played an hour on Monday night in Germany's 2-1 friendly win over Ghana and will now return to Liverpool.
