“Apparently, Vincent Kompany tried very, very hard during the talks with Florian Wirtz,” the head of football at the BILD Group exclusively informed CaughtOffside.
“But he must have always talked about Jamal Musiala AND Wirtz. ‘You and Musiala should do it this way,’ and ‘Musiala here, Musiala there.’
“Liverpool coach Arne Slot took a different approach in the talks with Wirtz. Slot apparently only talked about Wirtz and no other Liverpool stars. ‘You are my clear number one in midfield.’ And that is said to have been the deciding factor in the end.”
