Manchester City reportedly scouted Florian Wirtz this weekend, with Liverpool recently linked with a move for the Bayer Leverkusen star.

90min claim that the reigning Premier League champions had scouts in attendance to watch Leverkusen’s 3-2 win away to Hoffenheim to keep Xabi Alonso’s side top of the Bundesliga table.

The Daily Star reported this weekend that Liverpool are also chasing Wirtz, who this season has been a revelation for Leverkusen in their historic start to the campaign.

Lauded by the Bundesliga’s official website as a ‘generational’ talent, the 20-year-old Germany international has been one of the best young players in all of Europe this season.

And it’s perhaps no real wonder why City are now scouting Wirtz, who could be a dream attacking midfielder for Pep Guardiola if Kevin De Bruyne leaves next summer.

As a result, Liverpool have to ensure that they are the winners in the race for Wirtz, who could be even better at Anfield under Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool have to beat City to Wirtz’s signature next year

We’re still some weeks away from 2024, yet it already feels like Wirtz is going to be one of the hottest properties on the market going into next summer.

The attacking midfielder has been a sensation for Leverkusen this season, and for Liverpool, they simply have to beat City to Wirtz.

The youngster is clearly ready for the Premier League, and at Liverpool under Klopp, the 20-year-old can take his game to a whole new level with the right coaching and development plan.
