But while City and Bayern appeared to hold the early edge in an inevitable transfer scrap for \u00a380million-rated Wirtz next summer, news of Liverpool\u2019s growing interest has altered the picture. <\/p>\n<p> Kop boss Jurgen Klopp is a huge admirer of the free-scoring left winger and regards him as one of very few who could potentially fill Mo Salah\u2019s record-scoring boots. Although the prolific Egyptian ignored huge offers to head to the Saudi Pro League last summer, many expect he will exit Anfield next June. <\/p>\n<p><b> READ MORE: Liverpool &apos;believe they can sign Kylian Mbappe&apos; \u2013 and have not broken contact since 2017 <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b> READ MORE: Real Madrid issue Kylian Mbappe transfer statement in angry message to fans <\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31314770.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615\/0_fm24.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a winning approach on the tactics board, incorporating modern systems and positional innovations to deliver big victories on the pitch.<\/li>\n<li>Master the transfer market, using new ways to craft a dream squad capable of winning titles.<\/li>\n<li>Level up your players on the training field and turn your contenders into champions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a339.99 (PS5), \u00a340.49 (PC)<\/p>\n<p>And though Klopp has plenty of alternative, attacking options at the club, the opportunity to sign someone of Wirtz\u2019s calibre would be irresistible. Klopp\u2019s reputation in Germany and extensive contacts guarantee Liverpool being genuine contenders for the Bundesliga\u2019s fast-rising superstar.<\/p>\n<p>Wirtz has scored five times in all competitions this season but is still to break his duck for Germany after 12 appearances. The chances of Leverkusen considering any bids for him in January are non-existent as long as they are in the mix still for the Bundesliga title.<\/p>\n<p><b> <i>Where do Liverpool need to strengthen in the next transfer window?

Ironically, the fallen Premier League giants could have grabbed Wirtz 18 months ago when interim coach Ralf Rangnick was in charge. <\/p>\n<p>But the German\u2019s bitter exit &#8211; and refusal to assume the football director reins at Old Trafford &#8211; ended any chance of United pulling off a coup for the then teenager. Now Wirtz believes he has far better options on the table than heading to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jurgen Klopp<\/li>\n<li>Liverpool FC<\/li>\n<li>Transfer news<\/li>\n<li>Exclusives<\/li>\n<li>Bundesliga<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/sport\/football\/florian-wirtz-liverpool-transfer-leverkusen-31361960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bookmark Thank you for subscribing!
