Liverpool such as Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, but the Premier League champions are confronted with fierce competition and Bayern Munich still lead the race.
The 22-year-old is one of Europe's most sought after attackers and Postsport reported on Tuesday how his parents were in England for conversations with Manchester City.
There is still an expectation that Wirtz will stay in Germany next season, but will insist both Liverpool and City to sign it.
Wirtz's parents traveled to England on Tuesday – but did not spoke to Pep Guardiola, with the manager of the club from the region prior to the FA Cup final this weekend.
City has long hoped to lure Wirtz to the club and pushes forward with an attempt to close a deal in the light of Kevin De Bruyne's departure after 10 years in the Etihad Stadium.
Mail Sport revealed last week that City is awaiting news about discussions between the 22-year-old and his parents, Hans and Karin, in the direction of his career.
Wirtz is supposed to have soften his position on the attacking midfielder in recent months at the city and the Premier League.
But City is not the only club that is interested in which Bayern Munich also strives for his signature and the mother of Wirtz that he should stay in Bayer Leverkusen for another season. And now Liverpool would also like the star of £ 126 million.
Photos published in the German newspaper Bild Show both parents of Wirtz at the airport of Maastricht-Aachen in the Netherlands on Monday evening after arriving a nine-hour tour.
Wirtz has 33 goals and this season assists in 44 games for Leverkusen and Real is interested in the German International.
City's director of Football Hugo Viana works together with the departing Txiki Begiristain during a transfer period about the transfer window.
If Leverkusen chooses not to sell their price power this summer – or if he chooses to stay – Bayern is ready to wait until the summer of 2026 to take a step for the German international. It is unclear whether City and Liverpool would be.
Despite earlier reports stating that Wirtz still has three years about his current deal at Leverkusen, the current contract of the midfielder in 2027 has lost weight.
It follows a hugely impressive campaign in which Wirtz was of vital importance in the unprecedented unprecedented Bundesliga season of Leverkusen in the 2023-24 season, so that they also pick up the DFB Pokal.
Wirtz has made 29 performances for Germany, scored six times and has settled as one of Europe's most popular prospects.
Last month CEO of Leverkusen, Fernando Carro, said that Radio Marca Wirtz would have a fee of 'at least € 150 million', although he later suggested that this was a mistake.
In February Bayern Munich-Chef Karl-Heinz Rummenigge announced that they would focus on Wirtz this summer and it seems as if that is the direction of travel.
In an interview with AZ, Rummenigge said that he “makes no secret of the fact that it should clearly be our goal to sign Wirtz.”
He added: 'Everyone at FC Bayern agrees that he is exactly the player we want to sign. Not to weaken Leverkusen, but to strengthen us. '
Bayern's honorary doctorate -President Uli Hoogenheid has also talked about the qualities of Wirtz in a separate interview with AZ, but admitted that there can be financial obstacles.
