Liverpool wants to add another top-level forward to their team, and they are looking at a number of choices.
It is said that Liverpool has been given the go-ahead to sign Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz. The creator is likely to be moving when the season is over, and a move to England is said to be very much on his mind.

The Reds spent a lot of money over the summer to give their team a new lease on life. Jurgen Klopp’s main goal was to rebuild the middle. The former Borussia Dortmund manager let key players like Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, and James Milner leave in order to save money.
As part of the change, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch all joined. Now, Liverpool are looking to add another forward to their team.
The Reds are interested in Germany international Wirtz, and reports say that their chances of signing the 20-year-old have been greatly improved. Sky Deutschland says that Leverkusen are ready to sell their No. 10 player at the end of the season because so many teams want to buy him.

Even though the Bundesliga team wants to keep the forward for another season, the chance to play for a top club is likely to “lure him” away from his old team, despite their best efforts.
Wirtz is very popular in Bayern Munich, but the player is said to be interested in moving to the Premier League. As a result, Liverpool and Manchester United will be competing to sign him, and Manchester City will also be keeping a close eye on the situation.
Leverkusen has put a £95 million price tag on their flexible attacker to try to keep other teams from interested. However, Liverpool may not have to pay that much to get one of the most sought-after playmakers in Europe. Klopp already has a plan for Wirtz, according to TeamTalk, and he thinks that he can make the switch to the false nine at Anfield and take over for the legendary Roberto Firmino.
The German player would be the “heartbeat” of the Reds’ lineup. This could also be very important in talks with the player, since there will be other teams offering big money to sign him. We still don’t know how the Wirtz bidding war will turn out or if other top clubs will join the race, especially since he wants to play in the Premier League.
