However, the £87 million-rated player has chosen to stay with the newly crowned Bundesliga winners.
Wirtz wants to continue playing for Bayer Leverkusen under the tutelage of Spanish manager Xabi Alonso, who has also decided to stay for at least the next season.
The 21-year-old has been in outstanding form for the Die Werkself, who have yet to lose a game this season.
Wirtz scored the game’s first goal in a 2-0 win over AS Roma in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals.
Overall, he has 18 goals and 19 assists in all competitions (45 appearances).
Leverkusen will face Kaiserslautern in the German Cup final on Sunday, and they are expected to win the title.
Wirtz can play anywhere in the offense, although he has particularly thrived in the middle attacking midfield position.
Liverpool does have a natural CAM in Szoboszlai, but the Hungary captain has previously played as a CM in Klopp’s 4-3-3 formation.
The former Leipzig player has been in poor form since returning from injury. Do you believe we should replace him?
If so, who should be lured now that Wirtz has decided to stay at Leverkusen?
