Liverpool has entered the competition to secure the signature of Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, joining Manchester City and Chelsea in the pursuit of the 20-year-old talent. Several top European clubs, including Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea, have expressed interest in the young German forward. The Daily Star recently reported that Liverpool, under the keen eye of Jurgen Klopp, has also entered the fray, viewing Wirtz as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah in the future.
In the larger context, Wirtz has showcased his skills by netting five goals in various competitions for Leverkusen this season. However, he is yet to score for Germany despite making 12 appearances for the national team.
Looking ahead, Leverkusen is unlikely to entertain any offers for Wirtz in January, especially if they remain contenders for the Bundesliga championship.
