Berlin: Premier League champions Liverpool have "concrete interest" in Bayer Leverkusen's in-demand midfielder Florian Wirtz, the German club's sporting director Simon Rolfes confirmed on Monday.
At a press conference announcing former Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag will take over as manager after Xabi Alonso's departure for Real Madrid, Rolfes said Liverpool were chasing Wirtz but a deal was not yet done.
"He's our player... No question there's a lot of interest," Rolfes said. "It's an open topic with Florian, we'll see.
"That there's concrete interest from Liverpool, that's clear, but there's nothing more to say at the moment."
Liverpool have been linked with a big-money move for the 22-year-old, who recently visited Merseyside.
