Liverpool have 'their sights' on signing Florian Wirtz this summer
Liverpool They have reportedly set their 'aim' on signing Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz this summer, according to the Spanish outlet. Transfers.
After returning from a serious knee problem he suffered a couple of years ago, the 21-year-old has been enjoying a stellar campaign under Xavi Alonso this season, scoring 18 goals and registering 19 assists in 45 appearances in all the competitions.
Leverkusen has already won the Bundesliga title, breaking Bayern Munich's streak of winning the league for 11 consecutive years. Furthermore, Alonso's men are in the final of the DFB Pokal and are about to qualify for the final of the European League after having won the first leg of the semi-final against AS Roma last night.
So, they are on their way to winning the treble this season and Wirtz has been a key player in Alonso's starting eleven. Therefore, it seems that impressed by the youngster's performances this season, Liverpool have shown their interest in signing him.
According to the report of Transfers, the Reds have set their 'sights' on signing Wirtz and could make a concrete approach in the next window. However, the report states that real Madrid, Barcelona and city of manchester They are also interested in buying him, so it will not be easy for the Merseyside club to close a possible deal for him.
Wirtz to Liverpool
It has been suggested that Alonso is desperate to retain his star player, so Liverpool will have to offer a lucrative proposal to persuade Leverkusen to cash in this summer.
Wirtz: valued at around £94m per Transfer market – is a technically sound player and likes to play in the attacking midfield position. He can dribble past opposing defenders in tight areas, has a good eye for scoring goals from distance, can create opportunities for his attacking teammates and also works hard out of possession.
So the German could be a big coup for Liverpool if they buy him this summer. However, having recently revamped their midfield department, Liverpool already have enough firepower in this position that they do not need to spend a lot of money to sign a new midfielder. Therefore, Liverpool would be better off saving money to strengthen other areas of the squad this summer.
