Manchester United want Bayer Leverkusen starlet, a good deal?

It
is
presumed
that
the
German
tactical
genius
is
looking
to
go
back
to
his
homeland
for
reinforcements
and
he
has
identified
Bayer
Leverkusen
starlet
Florian
Wirtz
as
the
priority
target.

Apart
from
the
18-year-old,
Rangnick
is
also
believed
to
be
an
admirer
of
Borussia
Monchengladbach
left-back
Luca
Netz,
RB
Leipzig
defensive
midfielder
Eric
Martel,
currently
on
loan
at
Austria
Wien,
and
VfL
Bochum
centre-back
Armel
Bella-Kotchap.

Wirtz
is
currently
regarded
as
one
of
the
finest
young
talents
in
world
football
following
his
breakout
during
the
2019-20
season.
The
Bayer
Leverkusen
starlet
is
still
just
18
years
of
age
and
already
has
68
appearances
for
die
Werkself
and
has
been
breaking
record
for
fun.

He
became
the
youngest-ever
player
for
Leverkusen
in
the
Bundesliga
having
made
his
debut
shortly
after
his
17th
birthday
in
March
2020.
The
attacking
midfielder
became
the
youngest
player
to
play
for
Germany
U21s
in
October
2020,
scoring
the
fastest
goal
in
U21
European
Championships
history
in
June
2021,
and
then
becoming
the
youngest
player
to
play
for
the
men’s
national
team
since
1945.

Dubbed
as
the
‘next
Kai
Havertz’,
the
young
German
is
following
the
footsteps
of
the
now
Chelsea
star
and
might
potentially
eclipse
the
growth
of
the
22-year-old
in
years
to
come.
He
was
announced
on
the
2021
Golden
Boy
shortlist
but
was
pipped
to
the
accolade
by
Barcelona
midfielder
Pedri,
who
became
the
first
player
from
the
Nou
Camp
to
win
the
award
since
Lionel
Messi.

Having
made
his
way
through
from
the
youth
academy
of
FC
Köln,
Wirtz
was
signed
by
Leverkusen
in
January
2020
and
did
not
have
to
wait
too
long
to
make
his
way
into
the
senior
setup
despite
the
club
already
having
so
many
talented
players
in
his
position
at
that
time.
The
youngster
is
now
a
key
member
of
Gerardo
Seoane’s
squad
having
19
goal
contributions
(eight
goals
and
11
assists)
this
season
in
just
21
games
so
far.

Thanks
to
his
exceptional
technical
ability
and
eye
for
a
pass,
Wirtz
is
naturally
a
number
ten
but
is
also
quite
natural
when
playing
as
an
inside
forward
on
the
left
flank.
He
is
also
pretty
much
capable
of
playing
in
a
number
eight
role.
It
is
goes
without
saying
that
Wirtz
is
still
pretty
much
in
his
development
phase
of
his
career
and
can
potentially
become
one
of
the
best
players
in
years
to
come.

Rangnick
has
an
exceptional
eye
for
talent
and
Wirtz
certainly
looks
like
a
special
talent.
If
the
Red
Devils
can
secure
Wirtz’s
signature,
it
should
prove
to
be
a
brilliant
deal.
