David Ornstein has provided a major boost to Liverpool chances of signing Florian Wirtz

The Athletic reporter has revealed that the German international now prefers a move to Anfield over the German champions.

Writing for the Athletic, Ornstein reported:

“Liverpool have received a major boost in their pursuit of Florian Wirtz, with Bayern Munich believing the playmaker will not be joining them and is on track for a move to Anfield if he leaves Bayer Leverkusen this summer.”

“Wirtz has been targeted by both clubs but is believed to favour Liverpool — although they would still need to agree a deal with Leverkusen, which is not a formality given the finances involved.”

However, it’s been caveated with the fact that the Reds would still need to come to an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen, something that the transfer journalist assures won’t be an easy deal to broker.
