EPL: Wirtz makes demand to Liverpool over shirt number

Florian Wirtz, a young star from Bayer Leverkusen, has shared which shirt number he wants if he joins Liverpool.

Right now, both clubs are in talks to reach an agreement for his transfer.

Wirtz, who plays for the German national team, has already rejected offers from big clubs like Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

He feels ready for something new and has chosen to move to the Premier League for his next step.

Liverpool made their first offer, but Leverkusen turned it down. The German club wants €150 million for the transfer.

According to Sky Germany’s reporter Florian Plettenberg, Wirtz has told Liverpool he would like to wear the No. 10 shirt if he joins.

This is the same number he wears at Bayer Leverkusen and seems to mean a lot to him.

However, the No. 10 shirt at Liverpool is already being worn by Alexis Mac Allister, so the club will need to make a decision.
