Chelsea and Liverpool have taken a step forward in the race to secure the services of the talented Florian Wirtz, the current star of Bayer Leverkusen. Both Premier League clubs have reportedly made contact with the player's representatives, positioning themselves for a potential summer signing. This interest is not limited to just the Blues and the Reds, as Manchester City is also monitoring the situation closely, adding competition that could see figures rise up to £100 million.
The young German football promise has shown outstanding performance in the Bundesliga, making him one of the most sought-after talents in the European market. Chelsea aims to rejuvenate their squad with high-level profiles, while Liverpool seeks to inject freshness into their midfield with a creative player to complement their current playing style. Both clubs see Wirtz as a solid investment for the future, although they are aware that the path to sign him won't be easy.
Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also in the running
It's not just in England that eyes are fixed on Wirtz; teams like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also closely following his development. Bayern's interest lies in strengthening local talent, while Real Madrid could facilitate Wirtz's arrival if Xabi Alonso, the current Leverkusen coach, takes over the reins of the white team next summer.
For Manchester City, Wirtz fits as a potential alternative to Kevin De Bruyne, who is approaching the end of his contract. The battle for Wirtz's signing promises to be one of the most intense in the summer market, with teams willing to spend significant amounts to secure the German talent.
