The 20-year-old has been heavily linked with Liverpool recently, but a move is not imminent.
There were rumors that United were planning an outrageous €92 million bid, but they were quickly shot down by Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes.
He said, “No, no one has approached us, we don’t need anyone.”Fabrizio Romano later announced that Liverpool (and other clubs) would not sign Wirz in the January transfer window, with SPORT previously reporting that Barcelona were “closely” monitoring the young star.
Lewis Steele touched on a number of topics in a Q&A with Liverpool fans, revealing that the Reds are looking at Wirtz but have no “concrete” plans for a move.
Steele told fans: “There’s no real interest in Florian Wirtz yet, but that doesn’t mean he’s not on Liverpool’s radar. They see a lot of players. “The reports in Germany show that he is much more advanced than he is now. He is a great player and his stats are great.
Xabi has helped Alonso find a new level in his game. “We’ll see in the future, but nothing has happened yet.”It’s understandable why Liverpool are interested in Wirtz.
He was very impressive for Leverkusen football last season, scoring 12 goals and providing assists in 1,815 minutes of football. The 20-year-old has scored six goals and provided 10 assists in 1,173 minutes in 17 games this season.
He is already arguably one of the best players in the Bundesliga and although he hasn’t joined Liverpool recently, they are keeping a close eye on him.
‘I heard’: Fabrizio Romano shares what he heard about Liverpool’s €92m bid. Liverpool are following talks over the £89million signing, while Barcelona are laying the initial groundwork for a deal.
