Liverpool have made initial contact with Bayer Leverkusen over a move for attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz. The Germany playmaker is emerging as a primary target for Arne Slot as the Premier League champions already begin planning for next season.

The 22-year-old Wirtz has been repeatedly linked with various top clubs, but is now taking the next step in his career with the Reds. Wirtz moved to Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 and developed into a world-class player there. In 2023/24, he won the double with Leverkusen.

The 22-year-old is a player that the Reds like and would be willing to make a move for if the Germany international were open to moving to the Premier League.

The bad blood built up between the clubs over last summer’s failed pursuit of defender Jonathan Tah by Bayern Munich also seems to have intensified all matters between the organizations.
