Mayer: If Werz joins Liverpool, he will really integrate into the team immediately, don t worry

June 8th, recently, Liverpool's former player Mayer was interviewed by the Echo. He said that if Wilz can join the Reds, he will integrate into Slot's tactical system well.

If Liverpool finally signs Wilz for a record price, he will become the seventh player after Flynnon to play for Liverpool and Leverkusen. At present, the German international's transfer to Anfield has not yet been reached, but he has made it clear that he wants to join Slot's team. It is reported that Liverpool's latest offer is £113 million.

fans are excited that the Reds are expected to sign Wiltz, including a former player who has played for Liverpool and Leverkusen, who has now become a well-known Bundesliga commentator.

This summer marks the 26th anniversary of the two teams' first transfer deal, and in 1997, Liverpool signed Dutch international Mayer for free from Leverkusen. Mayer, 55, has played for only one and a half seasons at Liverpool, scoring two goals in 27 appearances, and has become an authoritative commentator in Germany after retirement. He has been closely watching Wiltz's performance in his old club and firmly believes that Wiltz can achieve immediate success in the Premier League.

Mayer said in an exclusive interview with The Echo: "I'm very excited. He really will fit in the team immediately, really! Don't worry! But I'm also glad he chose to go elsewhere, not Bayern, which is the easiest choice for him. To know 'how strong I'm in world football', you have to take a step, and joining Liverpool is a big step."

"I think he's ready (to play in the Premier League), he's not a person who will think too much about the next step. I only see him as a kid, just a football, a pair of sneakers, and then playing on the grass. That's his style, he makes it all look so simple. It's time to take this step, and it's time to face new challenges."

"He's The Bundesliga champion, won the German Cup, it's time to test himself in another league. In my opinion, he will also become a brilliant diamond in the Premier League. I'm not too surprised (he chose Liverpool), and in recent years we've seen more and more players who were originally thought to join Bayern have gone elsewhere. "

" Bayern's charm has weakened a bit, which may be related to their performance in international arenas, such as the Champions League or other events. For young players, playing abroad is also very attractive. It's a different league, a different culture, and a high salary in England."

Leverkusen priced Wilz at £126 million, while Liverpool's latest offer has reached £113 million, setting a club record. Mayer admitted it was a huge transfer fee, but pointed out that it was the price necessary to sign special geniuses, although it remains to be seen whether Wiltz can adapt to the physical confrontation in the Premier League.

"This is an astronomical figure, but he is indeed one of the most promising players in the Bundesliga. Musiara and Wiltz are two diamonds in the Bundesliga. He is young, excellent, has skills that no one else has, and has had several wonderful seasons at Leverkusen."

"I look forward to whether he can adapt to the rhythm, alertness and physical confrontation of the Premier League. In the Bundesliga, he is familiar with every court, understands the opponent's weaknesses and his own strengths, but in the Premier League, he will face better defenders, tougher defenders, and more experienced players."

There are also many discussions about Wiltz's position in Liverpool. Some think he will replace Sobosloy at the No. 10 position, while others think he can play as a left winger or a fake ninth. Mayer insists that the most suitable position for Werz is the No. 10 position. He emphasized Werz's working attitude on the defensive end and believes that he is very suitable for Liverpool.

"He has a relatively free role in Leverkusen, playing mainly 10, but can also attack from the left. He likes to cut in from the left. But I think his best position is as a free agent behind the striker, and I'd love to know who will be that striker next year."

"Or Slot would change the formation and use a double striker to let Wilz move behind them. He always has a forward to cooperate, he passes, receives, and responds, which makes him very powerful. It also makes him assist and scores a lot. He needs a striker in front. I'm looking forward to how Liverpool will arrange it."

"He has incredible dribbling ability, is very smart one-on-one, is good at running between the defense lines, can send accurate straight balls to the forward or forward teammates, so that they can face the goalkeeper directly. He can also take free kicks. He is always full of energy."

"Not only perform well on the offensive end, but under Alonso, he also shows a very high working attitude on the defensive end. He is often the player with the most running on the field, and he is very suitable for Liverpool."

Even if signing Wilts, Liverpool is expected to still look for a new center in the transfer market, because the current club transfer record holder Nunes is likely to leave. The Reds are linked to Frankfurt striker Ekitic. Although 22-year-old Ekitic scored 22 goals this season, he is still relatively immature. Mayer believes that it would be appropriate for him to partner with Werz.

"Ekitic performed well this season. He was already very good last season. He was on loan at the time. Now he got a contract in Frankfurt, which is really impressive. His speed and skill level are very high, and the only thing he lacks is experience."

"In the past year and a half, he has played all the games in Frankfurt and has gradually grown into the team's main scorer. Everyone thought Frankfurt would be in trouble, but Ekitic would be better and better. He is very suitable for Liverpool's system. Slott needs players with superb skills, fast speed and strong tactical awareness, and he knows how to use the space."
