Liverpool is targeting Bayer Leverkusen’s young star Florian Wirtz following a standout season.
At just 21, Wirtz has been instrumental in Leverkusen’s historic domestic double, going undefeated in the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal Cup. He also helped them reach the Europa League final, although they fell short against Atalanta.
Wirtz’s impressive stats include 18 goals and 20 assists, drawing comparisons to former Liverpool favorite Philippe Coutinho. His creativity and technical skills make him an ideal fit for Arne Slot’s system. Wirtz’s versatility and vision could fill the creative void at Anfield.
Leverkusen, however, will be keen to keep their prodigy, given his importance to their success and future. Wirtz is also expected to play a significant role in Germany’s national team. Securing Wirtz would demonstrate Liverpool’s ambition to reclaim domestic and European titles.
His next move could shape the future of European football, with many eyes on Anfield this transfer window.
