Liverpool are emerging as favourites to sign Florian Wirtz and have been handed a significant boost in their chances of pulling off a statement £126million coup of the German superstar.
The Bayer Leverkusen attacker is one of the biggest names on the market in the upcoming transfer window with Mail Sport reporting earlier this week that Liverpool were set to go head to head with German giants Bayern Munich to tempt him to join.
But now the noise from Germany is that a switch to Bundesliga champions Bayern is unlikely for the 22-year-old, who scored 15 goals and registered 16 assists this season.
