According to a report from Football Insider, Chelsea are interested in acquiring attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Liverpool. The report states that incoming manager Xabi Alonso, who has reportedly agreed to take over at Chelsea, is said to admire the player he previously managed at Bayer Leverkusen, where Wirtz was a key part of their Bundesliga title-winning season. Wirtz, 23, joined Liverpool the previous year for a £116 million fee but has had an underwhelming debut season. The report claims that Liverpool would be open to selling the Germany international for the right price, seeking at least £100-115 million due to their initial investment, though it is suggested they would publicly deny this position. Wirtz's contract at Liverpool runs until 2030 and his current market value is €110.00m, according to Transfermarkt. He has also been linked with clubs such as Real Madrid and FC Bayern München.
