In a twist of football fate, Bayern Munich's Jonathan Tah has dropped intriguing hints suggesting that his teammate, Florian Wirtz, played a role in tempting him to Liverpool this summer.

The Germany international recently made headlines after joining Bayern Munich for a bargain €800k, leaving Bayer Leverkusen mid-contract. This strategic move came just in time for him to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup, adding excitement to his new chapter at the prestigious club.

Wirtz's high-profile transfer to Liverpool has been the talk of the town, with the Reds tying him down in a staggering club-record deal of up to £116 million. This significant signing marked a major shift in the transfer dynamics, especially considering Bayern Munich had initially been seen as the frontrunners for the young German star.

Alongside Wirtz, Liverpool also snagged Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen by activating his £29.5 million release clause. Other notable departures from Leverkusen include Granit Xhaka, Odilon Kossounou, and Lukas Hradecky, who have all embarked on new journeys with various clubs.

As Tah gears up for his Bundesliga debut against RB Leipzig this Friday, he reflected on his interaction with Wirtz. When asked about his influence on Wirtz's decision, he teased, "I don’t want to give too much away. Maybe he was also courting me at times... We both made our decision, that's good, that's exactly how it should be."

Meanwhile, Frimpong revealed that he and Wirtz had discussed the possibility of both making the switch to Liverpool. He shared, "Towards the end of the season, when rumors were swirling, we joked about it, ‘Imagine we both go there.’ It was always just talk, never set in stone."

As these players settle into their new chapters, the ripple effect of these transfers is undeniable, shaping the future of clubs and fans alike.
