Bayern Munich have lost out to Liverpool in the race to sign Florian Wirtz and could launch a move for Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes instead.

While, as is often the case, there were differing views at Bayern, Liverpool, on the other hand, outlined a highly professional and appealing plan for Wirtz, which matters the most to the player. He is set to become the new central figure in midfield at Liverpool as a playmaker, with Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister behind him.
