Liverpool is forced to secure the services of a £72.5 million player as Alonso makes it a condition for his move to Anfield, according to reports.

Liverpool has expressed a prolonged interest in Florian Wirtz, and the transfer speculations may intensify as the Reds are strongly associated with Bayer Leverkusen’s manager, Xabi Alonso.

In December 2023, 90min disclosed Liverpool’s readiness to contend with Manchester City for the acquisition of the German international.

Recent reports suggest that Liverpool is prepared to make a bid for Wirtz if Alonso takes over from Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.

According to the Spanish source Fichajes, the 19-time English champions are planning to launch an offer amounting to 70 million euros for the versatile playmaker.

Under Alonso’s guidance, the 20-year-old Wirtz has showcased exceptional form for Leverkusen in the current campaign.

Playing in various offensive positions, he has started 22 games in all competitions, contributing to 20 goals (8 goals and 12 assists).

The report highlights that Alonso’s association with Anfield could give Liverpool a strategic advantage in securing the services of the Bundesliga leaders’ attacker.

As of the upcoming summer, Wirtz will have three years remaining on his contract with Bayer Leverkusen, and the club values him at £72.5 million (85 million euros).

It’s worth noting that Jurgen Klopp, throughout his managerial career, has not signed any players who previously played under him. The German manager has shown a preference for bringing in new faces.

The question is posed: Should Alonso pursue the signing of Florian Wirtz if he joins Liverpool at Anfield?
