Such a trend could offer Liverpool encouragement as they continue to pursue Wirtz.

But the Reds could also potentially sweeten any deal for Leverkusen - having already negotiated with them as they close in on the signing of Jeremie Frimpong - beyond just ensuring their star player is at least not facing them in the Bundesliga.

Leverkusen were one of the sides interested in signing Tyler Morton last summer, making a loan bid for the £20m-rated midfielder only for Liverpool to decide to retain the 22-year-old as midfield cover.

Meanwhile, it has been speculated that, after losing Jonathan Tah - who could ironically join Bayern Munich when his Leverkusen contract expires - they are one of the Bundesliga sides who are reportedly interested in signing Jarell Quansah.

Despite it being reported that the defender remains part of Slot’s first team plans heading into next season, he continues to be linked with a move away.

At the time he was yet to make a Premier League appearance, though was coming off a strong season on loan at Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga.

In contrast, Quansah is a Premier League winner, has 58 Reds appearances to his name and has been called up by England.

Elsewhere, Leverkusen have also been interested in signing Academy defender Luke Chambers in the past.

Morton is perhaps a more likely departee than Quansah this summer, but if Leverkusen were to still hold interest in any of the aforementioned players, Liverpool could potentially negotiate themselves a discount as a makeweight in any possible deal for Wirtz.

While it remains to be seen if the Reds will be left disappointed in their pursuit of the German, given Bayern's rival interest, the Wirtz transfer saga certainly appears to be one that remains up in the air.

And with Liverpool not giving up the fight, in contrast to Man City's own withdrawal, the Premier League champions still have a number of cards left to play.
