SHOCKING NEWS: “I want him as my first signing i have a vision for the team and he fits perfectly, I don’t care if Nunez leaves or stays i want him leading my attack”. According to reports this evening as it is confirmed that Liverpool is set to open talks for Bayer Leverkusen’s star Florian Wirtz for possible transfer this summer. Arne Slot wants Florian Wirtz as his first signing.

Liverpool has shown strong interest in German international Florian Wirtz, a standout player for Bayer Leverkusen under coach Xabi Alonso.

However, Fabrizio Romano reports that Wirtz intends to remain with Leverkusen for at least another year, despite the links to Liverpool. Romano mentioned that Wirtz’s current focus is entirely on Leverkusen and the upcoming Euros.

There are no active negotiations, and those close to Wirtz believe that staying at Leverkusen for another year is the best path for him. While circumstances can change quickly in football, things are calm for now.

At just 20 years old, Wirtz has already netted 28 goals in 36 matches across all competitions this season.

His future seems closely linked to Alonso’s. In February, Christian Falk reported that Wirtz is vital to Alonso’s plans and has significant freedom on the pitch. Wirtz has indicated that if Alonso remains, he will likely stay beyond 2024. However, if Alonso moves to Liverpool this summer, Wirtz could follow.

This scenario presents an intriguing prospect for Liverpool fans, especially if Alonso takes over from Jurgen Klopp.

It’s unclear if Liverpool would be willing to invest heavily in Wirtz, given their other transfer priorities, but this is definitely a situation to watch.
