Liverpool have been given a major boost in the race to sign Florian Wirtz. The 22-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League recently following his impressive performances for Bayer Leverkusen.

Wirtz, who sees his contract at the Bay Arena expire in June 2027, featured 31 times in the Bundesliga this season, scoring 10 goals and providing 13 assists. Playing a key role in Xabi Alonso's side, he helped Leverkusen comfortably secure qualification to the UEFA Champions League.

The Germany international's eye-catching displays haven't gone unnoticed, attracting attention from some top clubs. However, his price tag is proving to be an issue; according to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester City have 'cooled their interest' in Wirtz due to financial concerns.

The report claims that the German maestro had been identified as a primary target, with Pep Guardiola eager to bolster his midfield this summer. But, City have decided to walk away from a potential deal, leaving the door wide open for Liverpool to secure Wirtz's signature.
