Florian Wirtz is the subject of transfer interest from Bayern Munich and Liverpool, and his Bayer Leverkusen teammates would seemingly prefer him to join the latter

Florian Wirtz appears to be at the centre of a transfer tug-of-war between Liverpool and Bayern Munich. It emerged on Monday that Manchester City have withdrawn from the race for the German international.

Liverpool are looking for ‘assurances’ from Florian Wirtz if they are to make an ‘offer’ for the Bayer Leverkusen star this summer, according to reports. The Reds won the Premier League title at a canter with Arne Slot’s side securing their 20th English top-flight title by beating Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield in April.
