Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool are all reportedly monitoring the situation of Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz.

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool are all reportedly monitoring the situation of Bayer Leverkusen attacker Florian Wirtz.

The Germany international missed the first half of the current campaign after suffering a serious knee injury in March 2022.

Wirtz has since returned to action following the turn of the year, scoring two goals and providing six assists across 13 appearances.

In total, Wirtz has registered 21 goals and 28 assists in 91 games for Leverkusen in all competitions.

The German's impressive performances have caught the attention of a number of Europe's biggest clubs, including Barcelona.

There has previously been a suggestion that Barcelona have made contact with Wirtz's camp, however, the player has denied rumours that talks have been held with the Catalan giants.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona are still keeping tabs on the teenager's situation alongside Real Madrid and Liverpool.

The journalist goes on to state that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is believed to be a big admirer of the 19-year-old.

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool could face further competition though, after a recent report claimed that Manchester City are showing an interest.

Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have also been linked with a potential transfer.

Although the youngster is being pursued by a whole host of clubs, there is supposedly no clear frontrunner as it stands.

Wirtz has a contract with die Werkself until June 2027, and Leverkusen expect him to remain with the club for at least one more season.

Germany will host Euro 2024, and there is a belief that Wirtz will represent his country as a Leverkusen player, before considering a move after the tournament.

Wirtz, who has made four international appearances, is currently with the Germany squad preparing for friendlies against Peru and Belgium.
