Speaking on a recent interview, McCoist was asked if the £120M fee for Wirtz is too high. He argued that the funds could be better spent by Liverpool's manager Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes. McCoist believes that £120M could be used to buy three players at a lower price, such as £40M each.

McCoist also stated that while Wirtz is a good player and a top player, the money could be better spent. He thinks that the priority for Liverpool should be a striker, rather than spending £120M on one player. McCoist acknowledged that the transfer market has become crazy, but he still believes that the funds could be used more wisely.

Wirtz's team-mate Jeremie Frimpong is reportedly set to join Liverpool within the next 24 hours, which may convince Wirtz to join the club as well. If Wirtz, Frimpong, and highly linked Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth join Liverpool, it could be an exciting time for the team and their fans.
