Liverpool 'move step closer to stunning Florian Wirtz transfer' - with German superstar 'now in FAVOUR of Anfield move as Bayern Munich concede he will NOT be joining them if he leaves Bayer Leverkusen'

Liverpool have moved a step closer to completing a sensational transfer for German superstar Florian Wirtz, as Bayern Munich concede the playmaker is unlikely to join them this summer, a report has claimed.

The 22-year-old has been at the centre of a tussle between the European giants, with initial reports indicating he favoured a move to the Bundesliga champions.

Wirtz, who was named Bundesliga player of the year during Bayer Leverkusen's incredible title-winning 2023-24 campaign, is reportedly believed to now favour a move to Anfield.

However, according to The Athletic, a transfer is still far from complete, with the Reds still needing to agree a deal with Leverkusen for the star, who would likely command a British transfer fee to depart the club.
