Andy Robertson reveals the difficult beginnings of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz

Alexander Isak arrived from Newcastle for 140 million euros, while Florian Wirtz was transferred from Bayer Leverkusen for 125 million euros. However, their starts with the Reds were marked by difficulties.

Isak arrived injured and managed only four goals in twenty-two appearances before suffering a fibula fracture. On the other hand, Wirtz had a difficult season despite being a starter under coach Arne Slot.

Robertson explains that these difficulties are linked to the tragic death of Diogo Jota in July 2025: "He was our mate. He wasn’t just a footballer to us." This personal and collective tragedy had a profound impact on the entire club, particularly affecting the new signings.
