Liverpool is eyeing Bayer Leverkusen’s emerging talent, Florian Wirtz.
At such a young age, Wirtz has played a key role in Leverkusen’s historic domestic double, helping them go unbeaten in both the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal Cup. He also contributed to their run to the Europa League final, though they were ultimately defeated by Atalanta.
Wirtz’s standout performance in the 2023-24 season, with 18 goals and 20 assists, has led to comparisons with former Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho. His creativity and technical ability make him a perfect match for Arne Slot’s tactical approach. Wirtz’s versatility and vision could help fill the creative gap at Anfield.
Leverkusen, however, will be determined to retain their prized talent, given his crucial role in their current success and future prospects. Wirtz is also set to play a key part in Germany’s national team. Signing him would underline Liverpool’s ambition to regain both domestic and European glory.
His next move could have a significant impact on the future of European football, with all eyes now on Anfield.
