According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, Wirtz has told the reigning English kings he wants to wear the No. 10 shirt at Anfield, the same number he wears at Bayer Leverkusen.
Liverpool’s No. 10 jersey, currently worn by Alexis Mac Allister, has a rich history. Past holders include Joe Cole, Philippe Coutinho, and Sadio Mane, as well as legends like Michael Owen, Jamie Redknapp, Jan Molby, Terry McDermott, and John Toshack.
