Liverpool face heavy competition to sign Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz with the 18-year-old wanted by a host of top clubs across Europe.
The teenage midfield talent has made his name known following a breakout spell at Leverkusen and Jurgen Klopp’s camp are understood to be keeping tabs ahead of the next summer’s transfer window.

Reports from journalist Christian Falk claim that the Merseyside giants will have the likes of Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Chelsea also in the race to land Wirtz’s signature with Bayern, the Bundesliga holders, looking the clear frontrunners as of now.
Jurgen Klopp has been backed to bolster his midfield roster at Anfield after deciding against bringing in a fresh face this summer even as the long-serving Gini Wijnaldum left the Liverpool camp to sign for Paris Saint-Germain.
The Liverpool boss has been bereft of names to field in the centre of the park with the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Naby Keita both on the sidelines early on in this new season.
