Big-spending sides in the Premier League have been scrambling to put a deal in place for the £126 million-rated ($170m) playmaker. With Kevin De Bruyne leaving City as a free agent, many viewed Wirtz as the perfect replacement in Manchester.
He is, however, reported to be edging closer to sealing a switch to Anfield. According to , that is because Wirtz has concerns over the long-term future of City boss Pep Guardiola — who has said that he will leave the Etihad Stadium when his contract expires in 2027.
Wirtz wants more stable surroundings as he unlocks further potential in his game, which has led to him leaning towards newly-crowned Premier League champions Liverpool. Arne Slot is also working on a deal until 2027 there, but is expected to agree an extension if more major silverware makes its way to Merseyside.
