Alemão reforça reds
©IMAGO
Já é oficial: Florian Wirtz é reforço do Liverpool, tendo assinado um contrato válido para as próximas cinco temporadas, isto é, até junho de 2030. Para o contratarem ao Bayer Leverkusen, os reds tiveram de abrir os cordões à bolsa, fazendo desta uma transferência histórica: o emblema inglês pagou 125 milhões de euros pelo médio ofensivo de 22 anos, ficando ainda outros 15 milhões de euros dependentes do cumprimento de objetivos. Significa isto que o negócio pode ascender a um máximo de 140 milhões de euros.
Tendo em conta os valores praticados nesta transferência, Wirtz acabou de se tornar não só no reforço mais caro da história do Liverpool – superando os 85 milhões de euros que o clube já pagou ao Benfica por Darwin Núñez -, como da própria Premier League. Por outras palavras, nunca um clube inglês havia investido tanto dinheiro na contratação de um só jogador, sendo que o recorde, até agora, pertencia a outro antigo jogador encarnado: no caso, Enzo Fernández, pelo qual o Chelsea pagou 121 milhões de euros.
Além disso, com esta mudança para Inglaterra, Wirtz protagonizou aquela que passou a ser a sexta maior transferência da história do futebol, sendo que, se atingir os tais 140 milhões de euros na sequência do cumprimento de todos os objetivos, saltará para a terceira posição desta lista. No primeiro lugar da mesma, note-se, continua Neymar, ele que deixou o Barcelona para reforçar o PSG no verão de 2017 a troco de uns impressionantes 222 milhões de euros.
Wirtz, recorde-se, completou a sua formação enquanto futebolista, precisamente, no Bayer Leverkusen, onde também deu início à carreira profissional e no qual foi um dos obreiros da conquista da Bundesliga, em 2023/24, um feito inédito para o clube.
De salientar ainda que, com uma avaliação de 140 milhões de euros, Wirtz, que era o jogador mais valioso do campeonato alemão em igualdade com Jamal Musiala, é, atualmente, o terceiro futebolista com maior valor de mercado da Premier League, atrás somente de Erling Haaland, do Manchester City, e Bukayo Saka, do Arsenal.
