Florian Wirtz has expressed his desire to join Liverpool this summer, a move that has caught the attention of Bayer Leverkusen. The highly regarded attacking midfielder played a crucial role in Leverkusen's successful unbeaten season, winning the Bundesliga title under Xabi Alonso. Despite maintaining two years on his contract and a hefty valuation of €150 million, Liverpool seems to have won Wirtz's favor over Bayern Munich. Reports indicate that Wirtz has accepted a contract offer from Liverpool, awaiting a fee agreement between the clubs that may also involve a player transfer.
Wirtz, one of the most sought-after attacking midfielders in the game at the moment, was of vital importance for everything Leverkusen have done under Xabi Alonso.
With two years left on his contract, Leverkusen reportedly value his services at €150million - a whopping figure which appears to have deterred some of his potential suitors.
The race thus came down to two clubs - Liverpool and Bayern Munich, but even in Munich they are now aware that the 22-year-old prefers Anfield to the Allianz Arena as his destination.
Wirtz is believed to have already accepted a contract offer from the Premier League champions, who now need to find an agreement with Leverkusen over the size and structure of the fee.
