BERLIN — Liverpool have shown strong interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, but no deal has been made, confirmed sporting director Simon Rolfes.
The 22-year-old midfielder, valued at €150 million, recently visited Merseyside and could become Liverpool’s record signing. While Bayern Munich are also keen, Wirtz is reportedly leaning towards Liverpool.
New Leverkusen coach Erik Ten Hag praised Wirtz’s talent but said nothing is confirmed yet. Wirtz, named Bundesliga Player of the Season, was key in Leverkusen’s historic 2023–24 title win.
