Momentum with Liverpool Amid Wirtz Chase
Liverpool’s sudden emergence as frontrunners for Florian Wirtz may well represent the most decisive move of this summer’s transfer window. According to AS, the Bayer Leverkusen playmaker is leaning towards Anfield, with Bayern president Herbert Hainer acknowledging, “Max Eberl [sporting director] informed me that Florian Wirtz is probably leaning towards Liverpool.”
While those words were received in Madrid like a cold downpour in May, they have not yet extinguished Real’s hope. As AS notes, “there is still a match” to be played in this high-stakes pursuit. And in Madrid’s estimation, Wirtz is not yet lost.
