🎥 Will Wirtz get the number 10? Reds poke fun at Pletti | OneFootball

In recent weeks and months, there have been numerous rumors surrounding Florian Wirtz, which quickly turned out to be false. Wirtz extending his contract in Leverkusen? Wrong! Wirtz practically already committed to FC Bayern? Obviously complete nonsense!

But perhaps the biggest news fail was delivered by 'Sky' transfer expert Florian Plettenberg. Even before the transfer to FC Liverpool officially went through, "Pletti" reported that Wirtz wanted to play there with the number 10 jersey. The problem: This number is already worn by Alexis Mac Allister.

Shortly thereafter, the DFB star responded to the rumor on Instagram, writing dryly: "Who says I want the 10? I respect the players. Don't believe everything that's written."

More than two months later, the English champion also reacted to "Pletti-Gate" with a humorous video, heavily mocking the transfer breaker. But see for yourself:

Can Plettenberg recover from this setback?
