Florian Wirtz has slammed speculation that he's eyeing the legendary No.

In past comments, Mac Allister acknowledged the weight of the number, saying: "I know how important the No 10 is in football.

The shirt number that Wirtz will don at Liverpool remains uncertain, should his anticipated move to Merseyside materialise.

The report further suggests that Wirtz is keen on joining the Reds, despite attracting interest from Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
