Every top club in the world will be looking to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen — and Liverpool should be right in the mix for a playmaker who is fast becoming my favorite player.

According to Sky Germany, Manchester City will go all out for Wirtz next summer if Kevin De Bruyne leaves.

Bayern Munich is also keen on the player, but Bayer Leverkusen would much rather sell him abroad.

Wirtz scored 18 goals last season and assisted another 20 times as Xabi Alonso's side won a double; the exact kind of numbers that Liverpool should be looking for from its most advanced midfield player.

Combining Philippe Coutinho-like silkiness — the exact kind of quick-footed dribbling that is magical to watch — with ruthless numbers in the final third, Wirtz is one of the best number 10s in the world already — and he has not long turned 21.

Defensa Central reported last month that Liverpool would be prepared to go "all out" to sign Wirtz and BILD's Christian Falk, writing for Caught Offside, has suggested the decision has already been made for the player to leave Leverkusen after this campaign.

Liverpool and Manchester City, it is claimed, would be among those chasing his services and it is no surprise: he is, quite simply, a magical player to watch.

Like with Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni, Wirtz is already world-class but still has the best years of his career ahead of him.

Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz.

If it is, he would fit in perfectly at Liverpool and the Reds should be doing everything in their power to make it happen.
