Do we have any idea why we didn't go for Cherki? Given that Slot met up with him. Obviously Wirtz is a baller but is there a reason we moved on? Or did the player just not fancy it. Too much competition etc?

According to reports (ornstein I think) the meeting was scheduled some time ago before we got the green light from Wirtz as Cherki was one of the options for us, slot kept meeting out of respect - the player spoke of wanting to come to LFC.

We don't need both and Wirtz is the better player. Cherki was probably the fallback option.

The Athletic went over this and said he doesn't track back or defend much so maybe why we moved on. He will have it tough under Pep.

Also why would we buy him when we’re also buying Wirtz. We cannot sign everyone.
08 Jun 2025 20:10:47
We went and Cherki rejected us. Why is this so tough?
08 Jun 2025 20:12:03
Wirtz is the better option.

This place is going to kick off if Wirtz doesn’t sign.

It’s not Even a debate. Wirtz is clear.

It was going to kick off if we lost all three contract rebels, Ron.

probably because we're prioritizing one of the world's top young talents?

This forum is always balanced on a knife edge though eh? It’s just a thrill a minute.
