There are new development surrounding the future of Bayer Leverkusen’s prodigious talent, Florian Wirtz. Liverpool appear unwilling to back down from the race, despite the player’s reported preference for a move to Bayern Munich.
Wirtz’s father recently confirmed that the 20-year-old midfielder ‘won’t be departing‘ Bayer Leverkusen until at least 2025. This announcement adds a layer of complexity to the transfer saga that has seen numerous reports linking Wirtz to Liverpool.
Despite these rumors, the prevailing sentiment is that Wirtz himself favors a switch to the reigning German champions, Bayern Munich.
However, fresh reports from 90min indicate that Liverpool are not ready to concede defeat. The Reds are reportedly maintaining a determined stance, ready to battle Bayern Munich all the way for Wirtz’s signature.
Manchester City joining the race for Wirtz
Moreover, Manchester City are also rumored to be in the mix, signaling a potential three-way tussle for the German midfielder.
With multiple top-tier clubs expressing interest, Wirtz’s father appears relaxed about the situation. The knowledge that Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City are vying for his son’s services provides a comfortable position for the family as they navigate through the complex world of football transfers.
In a pursuit reminiscent of Jude Bellingham’s journey, where the destination ultimately became Borussia Dortmund, Wirtz now faces a comparable situation. Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City all on high alert.
However, unlike Bellingham, Wirtz’s case involves not just Liverpool but also the formidable Bayern Munich and the ambitious Manchester City.
Liverpool’s tenacious approach in the Wirtz pursuit is justifiable, especially after missing out on Bellingham.
Wirtz, described by former Leverkusen teammate Karim Bellarabi, is considered “very special,” making him a potential future star. Liverpool’s reluctance to admit defeat showcases their commitment to securing top talent and avoiding past transfer setbacks.
As the Wirtz saga unfolds, one thing stands clear, Liverpool are ready to wage a determined battle until the end to secure the talented midfielder for Anfield. This surely is setting the stage for an intriguing battle with Bayern Munich and Manchester City in the summer of 2025.
