Liverpool have launched a plot to hijack Manchester City's move for Florian Wirtz with the race for the Germany star taking another turn, according to a report.

Wirtz's parents met City officials on Tuesday during a flying visit in England - but didn't speak to Pep Guardiola, with the club's manager out of the region ahead of the FA Cup final this weekend.

City have long since hoped to lure Wirtz to the club and are pressing ahead with attempting to secure a deal in light of Kevin De Bruyne's departure after 10 years at the Etihad Stadium.

Mail Sport revealed last week that City are awaiting news on discussions between the 22-year-old and his parents, Hans and Karin, over the direction of his career.

Wirtz is understood to have softened his stance on joining City in recent months and the Premier League appeals to the attacking midfielder.

But City are not the only club interested, with Bayern Munich also pursuing his signature and Wirtz's mother of the opinion that he should stay at Bayer Leverkusen for another season.

And now, according to Kicker, Liverpool are also keen on signing the £126million-rated star.
