Manchester City and Liverpool’s pursuit of Florian Wirtz has hit a roadblock as the 20-year-old attacking midfielder is set to stay at Bayer Leverkusen. Wirtz joined the German club in 2020 and has quickly risen through the ranks to become a key player, contributing to 28 goals in 37 matches this season. Both Premier League giants were interested in signing him, with City eyeing him as a long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne and Liverpool looking to bolster their midfield.
Despite interest from top clubs, Wirtz is expected to continue at Bayer Leverkusen for at least another season. The decision comes after Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso committed his future to the club, signaling their intention to build on their success in the Bundesliga. This has led to disappointment for Liverpool and Manchester City, who were hoping to secure the talented midfielder in the upcoming summer transfer window to strengthen their squads for the future.
Both Liverpool and City were impressed with Wirtz’s performances and saw him as a valuable addition to their squads. However, the young midfielder’s decision to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for another season has put an end to their hopes of signing him. Despite the setback, both clubs will continue to search for other options to improve their respective squads and maintain their competitiveness in domestic and European competitions.
