According to the club's manager, Arne Slot, the signing of Wirtz is just the beginning of their summer recruitment drive. Slot is eager to strengthen several key positions in the team, which will enable the club to compete at a higher level.

While Wirtz will bring attacking flair to the team, Liverpool is also in the market for a new centre-forward to form a strong partnership with their existing strikers. The club is also looking to add a centre-half to their defensive unit, which will provide stability and depth to the team.

Additionally, Liverpool has already signed right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, and a deal is close to being finalized with Bournemouth for left-back Milos Kerkez. The club is also expected to sign goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia this summer.
