Matheus Snubs, Wirtz Winks at Anfield…
In a twist of fate that could rival any football soap opera, Liverpool has side-stepped the laser-beam eyes of Brazilian dynamo Matheus Cunha! Deciding his fit was as snug as a pair of oversized football boots, the Reds saw him charge off to Manchester United in an $84 million whirlwind transaction. Cunha’s goal tally at Wolverhampton Wanderers zipped up to 15, matching Roberto Firmino’s samba magic at Anfield, which was enough to make even the stiffest broomstick dance over at Old Trafford.
Cunha stayed put in Wolvesville long enough to slap down a fresh signature, giving them the power of a stampeding elephant to ask for a towering transfer fee. This saw United jump like pogo sticks over his release clause, hinting the move will be as certain as a referee’s whistle before the Brazilian forward dons the yellow and green jersey for Ancelotti’s debut squad against Ecuador and Paraguay. Liverpool, meanwhile, turned their gaze like a studious hawk to their German wonder-target Florian Wirtz.
The Reds are doing the Macarena with excitement over young Wirtz, leaving other clubs munching on their envy sandwiches – especially Bayern Munich! “More has been written than spoken,” said Bayern’s CEO, while Liverpool tries to sneak Wirtz to Merseyside. With Manchester City and Real Madrid also in the dance-off, Liverpool is booting up to lead the cha-cha of European transfers. Looks like Bayern will need more than a lederhosen-clad pep talk to land their man!
