Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wiltz has been a hot item this year with Bayern Munich, who is interested in signing with Liverpool, Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
The German international midfielder has been sensational this season on the Bundesliga side.
The 22-year-old has scored 16 goals this season and provided 15 assists in 44 appearances in all German club competitions.
Pep Guardiola is reportedly in contact with the Leverkusen star to convince him to join the Premier League giants this summer.
Liverpool faces tough competition to sign Wirtz
While Bayern Munich is actively working to complete the offensive midfielder contract, Liverpool is the one who has the advantage over all other clubs in the race to sign the German midfielder.
According to Anfield Watch, Bayern Munich will have to sell the players first to buy Wirtz this summer.
Liverpool, on the other hand, is in a much better financial situation and will not have to sell players to complete a deal with the Bundesliga midfielder.
Ronan Murphy, a specialist in the Bundesliga of football transfer, spoke about what the future holds for Anfield Watch and Wirtz.
“There are many reasons why he goes to Bayern Munich, but there are 10 million reasons why he doesn’t go to Bayern Munich because he can afford to balance his books.” Murphy said.
“Players like Kingsley Coman may need to sell Sacha Boey or players who may not have the same kind of market value.”
“In theory, Liverpool could probably afford him without selling to anyone. Do you think that would give Liverpool a bit of an advantage here?”
Arne Slot requires a goalscoring midfielder
Liverpool is paying attention to spending in the recent transfer window.
The Reds only signed Federico Chiesa last summer, and he was also available for bargain deals.
They’ve saved money and are still doing well on the pitch, as their success under the slots this season shows.
By signing players like Wirtz, you can provide players with X-factor elements that can level up your team, score goals, and create goals.
