The 22-year-old German midfielder is being pursued by many European giants, but Wirtz himself only wants to join the 2024/25 Premier League champions.

Florian Wirtz and Liverpool have agreed personal terms, but according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, the midfielder has asked for the No. 10 shirt at Anfield, which is currently occupied by star Mac Allister.

“ Who said I wanted the number 10 shirt? I respect the players. Don't believe what is written .”

In the season that just ended, he scored 16 goals and 15 assists in 45 appearances for Leverkusen.
