The ’90-minute’allegation, states that scouts from the defending Premier League winners were present for Leverkusen’s 3-2 victory over Hoffenheim, which kept Xabi Alonso’s team atop the Bundesliga standings.
The Daily Star reported this weekend that Liverpool are also chasing Wirtz, who this season has been a revelation for Leverkusen in their historic start to the campaign.
Lauded by the Bundesliga’s official website as a ‘generational’ talent, the 20-year-old Germany international has been one of the best young players in all of Europe this season
And it’s perhaps no real wonder why City are now scouting Wirtz, who could be a dream attacking midfielder for Pep Guardiola if Kevin De Bruyne leaves next summer.
As a result, Liverpool have to ensure that they are the winners in the race for Wirtz, who could be even better at Anfield under Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool have to beat City to Wirtz’s signature next year
Even though 2024 is still a few weeks away, Wirtz already seems like one of the most desirable residences available for purchase next summertime.
This season, the attacking midfielder has been a revelation for Leverkusen. Liverpool just needs to defeat City to Wirtz.
The young player is obviously prepared for the Premier League, and with the correct guidance and growth strategy at Liverpool under Klopp, the 20-year-old may reach entirely new heights in his game.
