It still remains unclear as to where the 22-year-old will be playing his football next season, but it's also no surprise to see why Liverpool might hold an interest in the player.

Wirtz has scored 34 goals and provided 35 assists across the last two seasons for Leverkusen and played a key role in helping the club win the Bundesliga title last term.

The playmaker is capable of performing in several different positions in a forward line - as well as in midfield - which would no doubt be a consideration for Liverpool if they decide to try and bring the player to Anfield.

Here, we take a closer look at three potential roles for the Germany playmaker;

No.10 role

While being a versatile player, it's arguably fair to say that Wirtz's best position is in the No.10 role behind a striker.

For Liverpool, that could see Wirtz operate behind either Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, or even Darwin Nunez next season.

However, it remains to be seen if the Reds will want to rebuild their forward options in the form of departures with any of that trio.

Mohamed Salah taking up his favoured right wing role, with Cody Gakpo supporting on the left, could be the first-choice wide forward options for Liverpool next season.

Wirtz operating in a No.10 position could then play a pivotal role in linking the whole forward line together.

Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Diaz.

False nine

It's not just Wirtz who has been linked with Liverpool this summer.

When this happens, it could be in a false nine role similar to what Roberto Firmino perfected during his time at the club.

This could then see Dominik Szoboszlai go into the No.10 role behind Wirtz in the forward line

With Salah on the right, Diaz could switch from centre forward to the left wing.

Alisson; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk; Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Wirtz.

Left wing

Liverpool will also welcome Giorgi Mamardashvili to the club this summer as the goalkeeper moves from Valencia

If everyone is fit, though, Salah is a guaranteed starter on the right, which means Wirtz could go on the left, when he's required.

Mamardashvili; Bradley, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson, Jones, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Jota.
