Florian Wirtz has sparked intense online reactions with a sensational quote circulating on social media, in which he seemingly dismisses Liverpool and openly pledges his loyalty to Manchester United. In the viral statement, Wirtz is quoted saying he’s “too good to wear a Liverpool shirt” and that United has always been his dream destination. While fans have gone into a frenzy—especially with the comment that “everything else was just noise”—there’s a key issue: there’s no credible evidence that he ever said it.
Despite the dramatic tone of the viral posts and the buzz among Premier League fanbases, no major sports journalist or reliable media outlet has confirmed that Wirtz made such remarks. Outlets like Sky Sports, BBC, The Athletic, or even transfer expert Fabrizio Romano have not reported anything of the sort. The supposed quote appears to be completely unverified, raising doubts about its authenticity.
Wirtz, currently starring for Bayer Leverkusen, recently played a major role in helping the club win their first-ever Bundesliga title under Xabi Alonso. While he’s been linked to elite clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool, he hasn’t made any public declarations about his future or preferred destination. Reports suggest Leverkusen plan to keep him until at least 2025, and they’ve placed a hefty price tag of over €100 million on him.
As for Manchester United, they’re believed to be admirers of the talented midfielder, but no concrete offers or negotiations have been confirmed. The quote making the rounds could very well be a fan-generated hoax, a satire piece, or even a line taken wildly out of context—if it exists at all.
For now, fans might want to hold off on the celebration or outrage. Until something official comes through, this remains nothing more than unconfirmed chatter floating through the rumor mill.
