Liverpool “machine” ends when FSG signs Wirtz

Liverpool has moved from one era to another, the clever ease of the champion. Now they are proven to be demonstrated in the appointment of Arne Slot, who became manager who won the Premier League last month. And in his first year.

Few people saw it coming. Perhaps there are none other than Merseyside and a few optimistic Reds supporters since. When Jurgen Klopp was packed and left last summer, the boss of Feyenoord stepped into his shoes after FSG was highlighted when he tried to pull Xabi Alonso (now Real Madrid Bound) from Bayer Leverkusen.

There were lots of suspicious heads. Some Liverpool supporters certainly would have held a reservation, but the view from the rest of the Premier League was that it was a temporary gap in which the Dutch were tasked with absorbing the iconic rain.

However, the slots did not replace Klopp afterwards. For now, there are no more archived managers. Instead, instead of the head coach, where slots have a more focused role, his modus operandled towards tactics and that of the first team.

Not that much. Of course, he still has an important voice, but he reports that he will oversee Richard Hughes. Richard Hughes swings power, but reports to FSG’s football overlord Michael Edwards.

But it’s a hierarchy that promises success. Liverpool has been holding back a big buck in the last year, but his current interest in Florian Wiltz is genuine, okay, and a desire to bring him to Merseyside.

Why Liverpool wants to sign Wirtz

Last week, Manchester City withdrew from consideration. Given that Kevin De Bruin will play his final game at the club this weekend, they highly praised Wiltz and require a profile of his type, but they thought the complete package was too expensive.

That’s not the case for Liverpool. Liverpool believes Bayern Munich is in the driver’s seat, but they do have the same teeth and claws working to secure the deal. As Trent Alexander Arnold sets off for Real Madrid, the slot needs a new creative centerpiece, lit up Wirtz’s future transfer in green.

Bayer Leverkusen feels they have a generation of talent, and he is approaching the penultimate second year of his contract, but is seeking a staggering number of 150 million euros (£126 million) for his release.

The 22-year-old crowned the Bundesliga player of last season after leading Lebakusen to the Maiden’s top flight title. Xabi Alonso’s side also lifted the DFB-Pokal, completing both domestic feats without one wound in defeat.

It’s easy to see why German playmakers are such a hot product. According to FBREF, he is ranked in the top 6% of midfielders and wingers offensive in Europe’s top 5 leagues this season, with top 7% of shot-making action and progressive passes and top 4% of take-ons per 90.

Wirtz’s talent level goes through the roof, but he also marries his skill and skills at a fixed baseline that allowed him to maintain his abilities throughout the fledgling year of his career. Consistency is important as shown below.

Anfield’s data analyst would have had a field day when he realized that the deal could be hit. However, if the FSG wins, you will need to do some shuffling.

Put another way, the talent you love will be sold this summer.

Worts will end the star’s Liverpool career

As Liverpool prepares for a campaign to seize the title, Slot knows that his side is no longer wearing a underdog cloak. Now, watchers are raising expectations.

With Arsenal, Manchester City and overseas rivals all strengthened, the burning desire to add wirtz to Liverpool’s rank makes a lot of sense, even if they break the bank. So you need to sell Harvey Elliott.

Elliot, 22, has been around for a while, moving Fulham as a 16-year-old to Merseyside to join his boyhood club. Since his arrival, the creative midfielder has played 145 times for the men’s team, scoring 15 goals and providing 20 assists.

His fatal flaws lie in athletic ability, not technical quality. Elliott hasn’t won enough duels, and he can’t even convince a slot worthy of a regular start role in this highly exponential and competitive Liverpool team, even if he has enough mobile.

Elliott ranks in the top 2% of position peers this season, according to Liverpool writer Sam McGuire, as he is a “machine” in terms of output, and is supporting assists in line with 90 (FBREF).

However, slots aren’t giving the British star the game time he wants or it’s not worth this semester. Elliott made only the second Premier League start of the season with his defeat last weekend at Brighton & Hove Albion. Of course, he bagged goals and assists.

He is now open to leaving, and although he unleashes a door that he certainly doesn’t want to intervene, he’s become accustomed to the cold reality that Slots doesn’t give the minutes needed to develop at this formation stage of his professional career.

According to Football Insider, Nottingham Forest wants to replace Morgan Gibbs White with the England U21 International, but Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers have also registered interest. The Reds hope to bag around £50 million for his departure.

Liverpool will definitely not lose one of them. They are players that could be higher than most others. Klopp said at the end of his illustrious Anfield tenure, one of his biggest regrets was failing to give this clever little playmaker more action.

But time has changed. Liverpool is once again the Premier League champion and will need to defend the trophy.

Wirtz is exactly the type of signature they need to do, and while Dominik Szoboszlai’s contrasting style shows a prominent role in the coming years, it is difficult to argue that Wirtz is against Elliot’s upgrade, where he can get the right amount to help his investment this summer.

All Liverpool’s persuasions are sad to see Elliot go, but perhaps a little touched, waving goodbye like proud parents, and his eldest son is putting his head out for the first time himself.

If slots can’t provide young midfielders with playing time that they need to fully develop their skills, cashing for a significant amount of fees is a good move.

Replace him with a wirtz and the blow softens – just a few.
