Liverpool revamped their midfield in preparation for this season, and while some of their 30-somethings have left the team, they have brought a fresh breeze to the midfield and have successfully bounced back from last season, competing with the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal for the top spot at the halfway point of the season.
Liverpool is also looking at young midfielders to add depth to their midfield, and the name of German midfielder Florian Wirtz, who plays for Bayer Leverkusen, has made the media rounds on numerous occasions, with the possibility that Xabi Alonso will step up a gear if he is appointed as manager.
Fabrizio Romano, an expert on transfer trends around the world, admits interest from Liverpool over the player, but claims that Spanish sides such as Barcelona and Real Madrid are also watching his development. In addition, he said that the race is open.
“Florian Wirtz, attracting lot of interest as one of the best talents in the world – but Bayer Leverkusen remain convinced he will stay at least until 2024.”
“Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool keep following the situation — the race is 100% open.”
