Now, a report from German outlet Kicker claims Bayern Munich ‘fear’ Liverpool in the tussle for Wirtz as the Reds ‘could intervene’. It is also noted that the Reds to ‘have been greatly impressed and have chosen Wirtz as the centre of a new team at Anfield’, as each side ‘goes to the limit with this transfer’.

Bayern Munich is still the frontrunner to land Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, but Liverpool FC is preparing to at least attempt to make a steal in this transfer battle per Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk.

Florian Wirtz may well still end up at Bayern Munich but even if he does there’s plenty to enjoy in this transfer saga from a Liverpool point of view.
