Tag: Florian Wirtz

These days, Man City and Liverpool compete not just on the football but also in the transfer market.

Given that both teams play visually appealing, high-intensity football in a similar manner, it makes sense that they would be interested in the same targets.

One of them is Florian Wirtz, a 20-year-old prodigy for Bayer Leverkusen.

Even if it seems highly improbable that Xabi Alonso will approve a trade at this time, 90Min reports that both Premier League clubs are determined to compete for the signature of the German, who is regarded as one of the game’s brightest talents.

The fact that Bayer is still undefeated and leads the Bundesliga table above Bayern Munich—who are still big fans of Wirtz—means that the team doesn’t really need to entertain any offers for its star player right now.

With 13 Bundesliga games, three goals, five assists, and eight more goal contributions in other cup competitions, according to 90Min, it’s clear that each prospective employer is interested in hiring you.

If Alonso could lead Bayer to their first-ever German Bundesliga championship, that seems like the perfect time for him to step down as coach and maybe go back to one of his previous teams.

By doing that, it may lead to a migration that might very well involve Wirtz.

Liverpool and Man City would therefore be well to keep in mind the virtue of patience.

More news…….

Liverpool and Chelsea are vying to sign an attacking prodigy with a “great future.”

There are reports that Francesco Camarda, a young Italian forward with promise, is being watched by Chelsea and Liverpool.

According to a report from 90 Min, the two Premier League clubs have taken notice of the 15-year-old’s performances. In order to play Fiorentina, the attacker was just called up to the AC Milan first squad, making him the youngest debutant in Serie A and AC Milan history.

It is hardly surprising that Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in the attacker, who is undoubtedly a gifted player with a bright future ahead of him.

Both teams have demonstrated a willingness to invest in young, gifted players, and they may be able to develop him into a future star.

With almost 400 goals in his young career, the 15-year-old is attracting interest from several European teams, including Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Borussia Dortmund.

If Chelsea or Liverpool could get him, that would be quite the coup.

Camarda has the potential to become an important member of the Blues’ squad in the near future, but they still need to add attacking reinforcements. With the addition of Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea has not been able to address their goal-scoring issues, and they will soon need to add another striker.

Jurgen Klopp may help the 15-year-old become a vital member of the Liverpool team and serve as Darwin Nunez’s perfect temporary replacement.

Milan is unlikely to let go of the 15-year-old anytime soon, so the English teams would likely need to make a higher offer before they will be persuaded to reconsider.

Mohamed Salah, a winger for Liverpool, has listed three players, including a valuable member of Manchester City’s roster, that he hopes to play with.

Mohamed Salah, a winger for Liverpool, has said that he would adore playing with Kevin De Bruyne, a midfielder for Manchester City.

Both players will go down in history as two of the greatest-ever players in the division because of their enormous contributions to City’s and Liverpool’s dominance in the Premier League in recent seasons. For their goals, assists, and all-around skills, both are well-known.

In their careers, they have combined for 213 Premier League goals and six Premier League crowns. Both players are gifted athletes who can pass with accuracy and quickness.

De Bruyne, who hasn’t played since August due to a hamstring injury, is one of three players whom Salah, who assisted Liverpool’s equaliser against City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, would want to play with. He has also acknowledged that he wishes he could shake hands with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Salah said to Sky Sports, “I would pick Kevin over Messi or Ronaldo if I had to choose one in the Premier League.” “I would pick Messi, Ronaldo, and Kevin, because he has vision and can find me anywhere with the ball.

“He’s a fantastic player, and City as a team is outstanding. However, I only attempt to play my game and ignore other people.”

De Bruyne has not appeared in a game since City’s 3-0 victory against Burnley on the first night of the season. In his career, he has four goals and eight assists against Liverpool. After just 23 minutes, he was ejected, depriving Pep Guardiola of his primary architect.

At the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday, De Bruyne provided an update on his recuperation, saying, “It’s going well (his recovery), it’s getting along.” I still have a couple ways to go, but progress is being made. If all goes well, I’m hoping for something shortly after the new year.”

Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in signing 20-year-old Florian Wirtz, a prospect from Bayer Leverkusen, and Liverpool is willing to pay €92 million to acquire him.

Liverpool is reportedly interested in Florian Wirtz, according to a report by the Spanish publication Fichajes. The 20-year-old playmaker for Bayer Leverkusen is also a target for Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, the Reds are prepared to pay €92 million to acquire his services in order to outbid the rivals.

Since moving from FC Koln to Bayer Leverkusen over four years ago, Florian Wirtz has made a name for himself as one of the top young talents in the world. The German international signed as a young player at the BayArena in January 2019, but it didn’t take him long to establish himself as a regular for Die Werkself.

The 20-year-old is currently a key player for the Bundesliga squad and is starting to make an impression on the German national team. In the meantime, Wirtz has made 16 appearances thus far in the new campaign, tallying six goals and nine assists. The young player has drawn the interest of numerous prestigious teams, like Liverpool, Barcelona, and Real Madrid, as a result of his impressive improvement.

This past summer, Liverpool signed Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo, significantly strengthening the midfield. However, they are still looking for further reinforcements. Even though it’s uncertain how Wirtz will fit into Anfield’s plans, Liverpool has him as one of their top targets. To get him, the Reds are willing to spend €92 million.

Barcelona, on the other hand, might need an offensive midfielder for the upcoming campaign, given that Ilkay Gundogan’s summer acquisition is merely a stopgap measure. Thus, Wirtz has become a feasible target for Barcelona. However, the current La Liga winners are having trouble affording his high asking price.

Real Madrid has long been keeping an eye on the 20-year-old German international. However, unless Wirtz plays on the right side, Jude Bellingham, who joined from Borussia Dortmund, has taken up a central role, so there could not be a spot available for him.

A January transfer is improbable, though, as Bayer Leverkusen wants to keep the young player through to the end of the campaign. Thus, it’s doubtful that Liverpool’s €92 million proposal in January will be enough to secure his services.

Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer agree on next Liverpool’s manager after Jurgen Klopp depart

The two think that Xabi Alonso, a former Reds midfielder, might be the person to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.

Former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso is a possibility to return to Anfield, according to Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer.

After spending five years on Merseyside, the Spaniard began managing Real Madrid’s youth team in 2018. He later managed Real Sociedad’s B team before taking over at German team Bayer Leverkusen more than a year ago.

His team has won nine of their ten Bundesliga games thus far, with their most recent victory coming over Hoffenheim on the road this past weekend, 3-2. Additionally, he led Die Schwarzroten to the Europa League semifinals the previous year and they have won all three of their matches so far in this year’s competition.

Xabi Alonso

Given that the Reds are also undefeated in Group E, it is possible that Jurgen Klopp and Alonso will reunite during the tournament’s later stages. Klopp is hoping to add the one trophy that has eluded him in his eight years at Anfield.

With his previous contract set to expire in the summer of 2026, Klopp, 56, signed a new deal with Liverpool in 2022, extending his stay until the summer of 2026. Beyond that, though, Alonso, the winner of the Champions League, has been mentioned by both Lineker and Shearer as a possible successor to Klopp in the future.

Shearer stated on the podcast The Rest Is Football: “He’s getting great reviews, isn’t he? He’s had a great start to his managerial and coaching career. If he continues on, it won’t be long until people begin to observe him if they haven’t already, and you never know.”

“I think there’s every chance that Carlo Ancelotti ends up there as manager of a certain Jude Bellingham once he walks away or is pushed out, as is often the case at Real Madrid,” Lineker stated. Furthermore, he may follow (Jurgen) Klopp in the future. You always do with these things, don’t you? Steven Gerrard will always be there.”

Shearer said, “That might all change in a year,” to wrap up the discussion. However, it appears that he will stay at the top for a very long time, doesn’t he?”

However, Man City, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea are “also attracting interest” in the German.

According to sources, Liverpool has entered the competition to sign Florian Wirtz, a highly-regarded attacker from Germany.

The Reds are still seeking to strengthen their attacking options even after having a strong start to the current campaign, winning seven of the first ten Premier League games and scoring 23 goals.

Darwin Nunez has improved after an uneven first season at Anfield, and Mohamed Salah has been playing at his best so far this season, but Jurgen Klopp might not be able to resist the chance to bring his countryman Wirtz to the Premier League.

Liverpool has reportedly expressed interest in the £80 million-rated attacker, joining teams like Manchester City, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich. This information was reported by the Daily Star.

According to the article, Klopp intends to leverage his connections in Germany to give his team an advantage over the competition for Wirtz’s signature.

According to sources, Liverpool has entered the competition to recruit Florian Wirtz, a highly regarded German international.

According to rumours, Jurgen Klopp wants to utilise his connections in Germany to help keep a number of potential suitors away from the 20-year-old.

For Leverkusen, Wirtz has started the season in excellent form, leading Xabi Alonso’s team to an undefeated start.

It is also said that the 20-year-old believes he has better options available to him after the recent setbacks of the Old Trafford club, and that Manchester United is no longer in the running to recruit him.

As Xabi Alonso’s club is still undefeated this season, Wirtz has been in excellent form for Bayer Leverkusen, racking up six goals and nine assists across all competitions.

Earlier this year, Alonso compared the 12-cap German international to Lionel Messi, offering a possible explanation for why so many of Europe’s elite clubs seem to be vying for his services.

“There are good players and there are players who look good on the pitch,” stated the former midfielder for Liverpool. The player with the best appearance makes nice but sometimes ineffective decisions.

In addition to being wanted by teams like Manchester City, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich, the attacker has 12 caps for Germany.

Mo Salah has had a remarkably successful season thus far at Anfield, but there are still whispers that he might join the Saudi Pro League.

Why is Messi such a talent? because he understands when and how to play basic passes. “You’re in a better position?,” says Messi. You have the ball right here!”

It’s more important to make the best and brightest decision rather than the most audacious one. Florian’s capable of that. He’s so good because of this.

There may be an attacking vacancy at Anfield in the upcoming months given the ongoing speculations of Salah moving to the Saudi Pro League.

While Leverkusen will probably reject any January offers for Wirtz in their quest for a Bundesliga championship, Wirtz is likely to join Klopp in Merseyside at the end of the current campaign.

Liverpool have ‘verbally agreed personal terms’ for the £35m summer signing.

Liverpool are preparing for the January transfer window.

Liverpool look set to make their first signing before the January transfer window opens.
United have been linked with a number of names since the end of the summer and the player has long been an intriguing figure for Jurgen Klopp.

Despite engine room restructuring being the sole focus of the summer, Liverpool continue to look for other midfielders to add more options to their number six.

Andre Trindad has been on the radar at Anfield for some time, but the summer move is over and he is now the main name linked with a move to Merseyside in January.

Fluminense have said they will part ways with Andre until at least January as they will need all hands on deck this weekend if they are to win the Copa Libertadores title.

According to sports journalist François Plato, it has been confirmed that the Brazilian has “verbally agreed personal terms with Liverpool” amid interest in signing him in the new year.

However, no official deal has been signed yet and there are other clubs interested in Andre.
One of Liverpool’s main rivals for the midfielder’s signature is Arsenal, who are monitoring the situation with “several clubs in Spain and Italy”.

Every team interested in Andre has heard the same thing: This proposed transfer won’t happen. From Fluminense to the Copa Libertadores final.

The 22-year-old is valued at around €40m and both Arsenal and Liverpool are targeting him.
Andre is under contract with Fluminense until 2026, but the club have resigned over the possibility that this year could be his last game

 

Xabi Alonso impressed with Liverpool’s prospects of replacing Mohamed Salah

Liverpool are planning to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
Florian Wirz continues to impress in the Bundesliga under Manchester United legend Xabi Alonso.

Liverpool legend Xabi Alonso is a World Cup winner, two-time European champion and two-time Champions League winner.

The Spaniard has also won four league titles and four domestic cups in England, Spain and Germany and is one of the best players of his generation. So he played with some of the best players the game has ever seen.

But the look on his face said it all as Bayer Leverkusen beat SC Freiburg 2-1 on Sunday to claim victory over Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga.

Despite everything he has been through in his football career as a player and manager, Florian Wirz’s first goal will go down as one of the best individual goals he has ever seen.

After receiving the ball on the right, just outside the area, the 20-year-old burst into the box, twisted two defenders and knocked one of them to the ground twice.

Despite facing the big Freiburg on his way to the touchline, he stepped back and fired a shot into the bottom left corner.

“This is half our team… And he scores.
Leverkusen posted on social media that it was “unreasonable”, along with a photo of seven Freiburg players standing next to Wirz, five of whom were directly in front of him heading towards goal. The goal isn’t even in the shot.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a special goal from him,” Alonso said after the final whistle.
“Dribbling, dribble, dribble and finally shoot.

“I spoke to Flo yesterday about what he does and you can’t teach him that today.
“There are only a few players in the Bundesliga who can do that.”

The stunning goal was Wirtz’s fifth of the season, having made 13 appearances in all competitions.

He later set up Jonas Hoffman’s future winner with his eighth assist of the campaign, tearing down the left wing to block a running man in midfield before punching in seconds later.
To property management.

That form is all the more impressive considering the Germany international is still only 20 years old and only returned in January from a 10-month layoff after picking up a cruciate ligament injury in March 2022.

He scored 18 goals and provided 22 assists in 69 games since the start of the 2020/21 season before suffering a serious injury.
He bounced back in the second half of last season with four goals and eight assists in 25 appearances and wasted no time getting back to his best form.

Unsurprisingly, Wirtz remains linked with many of Europe’s elite clubs, including Liverpool.

Fabrizio Romano expressed his interest in the German at Manchester United in March, while Jurgen Klopp has said he is a fan of his compatriot. But he said the Leverkusen teenager will stay until 2024. So could the 20-year-old be linked with Anfield in the future?

There was no denying that there was something Mohamed Salah-like about Wirtz’s goal and assist against Freiburg.

The way he crosses inside, beats a defender and curls his left foot into the bottom corner is something Reds fans have seen time and time again during the King of Egypt’s breakaway, a powerful solo run that saves half the pitch before carries on side Team members.

However, even though Wirtz scored his wonder goal with his left foot, he is not left-handed.
Therefore, she is not a right winger and has mainly played as an attacking midfielder for Leverkusen.

 

But Liverpool now have the likes of Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Lotta and even Darwin Nunes joining them on the left flank, as well as a number of talented young players coming through their academy, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t There.

A place for him. Wirtz is not at Anfield either.
He may be an attacking midfielder, but that doesn’t make him the only number 10 player.
Of course, he played in that position and right up front when Alonso opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation, but the Spaniard is the favourite.

This system is similar to Klopp’s Reds formation, with Trent Alexander-Arnold moving into midfield as a right-back in a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Last season, Wirtz was forced to play as a central or left attacking midfielder.
However, following Moussa Diaby’s £51.8m move to Aston Villa in the summer, the German will often rotate with fellow right-footer Jonas Hoffman.

According to Transfermarkt, the 20-year-old is on the right side of any situation.
With the last goal, he showed that he has a strong left foot.

With speculation surrounding Salah’s future interest in Saudi Arabia, it is time for Liverpool to look for a replacement.
Wertz is not right-wing, but in that sense, he may not be the perfect successor either. But can anyone really fill these massive boots?
He may never be able to replace the Egyptian as an equal, but if he continues to be admired at Anfield, he could be part of that conversation.

Despite being on the Reds’ radar, one thing is clear. If Wirtz continues to supply Leverkusen, a big money move is certainly possible.
