Liverpool Hold Talks to sign “Golden Ball Talent”

Negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen are taking place, but there is a desire for each game to see Liverpool sign Florian Wirtz in the coming weeks.
Admittedly, it is a dizzying agreement, but which will provide Liverpool with a really elite creative player, hailed by the former man of Leverkusen Patrick Helmes as “probably the best midfielder in the world”.
The fact is that Wirtz, 22, is pretty good. Of course, it is silly money, but is there honestly a player who is worth providing a British record sum for, to jump, perhaps, Alexander Isak from Newcastle United?

Liverpool wants Bang for their money, and they will get it with Wirtz, whose prowess as a attacking midfielder with elite custodious skills allow him to play in a variety of roles, including outside or in a more focal -fed attack.
It has been a while since the Reds did not have such a profile. Perhaps you would have returned to Philippe Coutinho to find a player at the technical level of Wirtz, or somewhere similar.
Liverpool wants Coutinho 2.0
Dominik Szoboszlai is an offensive midfielder, but he is more industry and as work in his football, has only 15 goals and 14 assists of 94 Liverpool appearances since he joined RB Leipzig in an agreement of 60 million pounds sterling.
What the slot machine wants is Coutinho 2.0, Liverpool selling the Brazilian sensation in Barcelona back in January 2018 for costs of 142 million pounds sterling. Breathtaking jaw. This facilitated the transfers of Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker, actually creating a base from which Jurgen Klopp obtained its illustrious successes.
Hailed by Klopp as a “world class” player in his last full season in Anfield, Coutinho played an instrumental role in the meteoric rise of Liverpool, so prolific and influential, a cup above a large part of his stay.
However, after its sale, the Liverpool midfielder returned to a more concentrated and pragmatic style, although becoming something more dynamic in recent years.
Wirtz was chosen as the man to take the stick. Liverpool is convinced that they will seal the signing of the German international, but in football, as in life, you never know.
This is why FSG ensures that they have an emergency plan.
Liverpool Hold Talks with the Wirtz alternative
According to David Ornstein always reliable of Athletic, Liverpool had interviews with the star of Lyon Rayan Cherki, showing reasonable diligence on a range of targets in case the offer for Wirtz falls.
In fact, it is understood that Slot left his holidays and flew to the south of France to discuss face to face with French talent, which is also courted by Manchester City in an agreement of 25 million pounds sterling after their withdrawal from the Wirtz race.
If Liverpool is at Pip Man City at 22, which will cost more than 30 million euros (25 million pounds sterling), they will have to be quick on this subject, Pep Guardiola seeking to conclude the agreement in the coming days.
What Rayan Cherki would bring to Liverpool
Cherki is one of the most talented players in the world, one of the most gifted and skilful. The warning is that he was tagged with a reputation of bad attitude, but his performances in the past year are talking about a new maturity.
With 32 direct involvement of objectives of 44 games in all the competitions in this term, it is clear that Cherki is the real deal, even considered by the data of data Ben Mattinson as “a talent Ballon d’Or Level”.
Located in the center or to the right wing, the left basin is a creative threat with the ability to score a goal with off -competition finesse. In addition, he seems to have reached a new level with regard to his production.

Such qualities suggest that it would bring a Coutinho-Esque style to Liverpool of Slot, especially when you see the underlying data.
According to FBREF, Cherki ranked among the 1% the most position position in the best European leagues this season for assists, shooting actions and progressive passes, as well as the most important 10% for successful sockets for 90.
A successful winning is recorded when a player beats his opponent by directly carrying the ball in front of them while retaining possession.
Such measures suggest that Cherki is not only a game sorcerer, but also a voluntary driver of the ball. Indeed, his play of flashy legs and its balletic turmoil have foiled many leagues 1 and the Europa League spreads this term, which Coutinho has produced in Liverpool.
So where are we with all this? Well, it is unlikely that Liverpool would divert the movement of Man City for Cherki if they come to an agreement with Leverkusen for Wirtz, and although it happens, every day without breakthrough is another day for Merseysiders to worry about this dreaded and shipwreck.
However, if that were to happen, Liverpool could mark an absolute blinder by stealing Cherki at the Citizen Claketes. Really, he has the X factor about him that players rarely have. Wirtz is one of these rare geniuses, and Coutinho, at his peak, was another.
