Liverpool line-up extraordinary move to sign next Florian Wirtz

Liverpool now want to sign the next Florian Wirtz.

Richard Hughes is not satisfied with signing just on German super talent. He may already have his eye on the next one.

Liverpool broke the internet when they managed to convince Wirtz to choose the Reds over Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

A young German player choosing Liverpool was previously unheard of, especially when it's not just any old German but Wirtz, who is regarded as one of the best players of his entire generation.

Someone who could become one of the best players in the world.

Wirtz might have changed the perception of an entire German generation. So far, his start at Liverpool have been slow but he is growing better and better.

He is going to be a superstar, sooner rather than later. It's important to forget this is just the beginning of his journey at Anfield.

Could Wirtz also attract the next generation of Germans to Liverpool? Clearly Jurgen Klopp had a profound influence on how Liverpool are viewed in the country.

Now Germany's best player representing the Reds only makes Liverpool an even more attractive destination.

So, in light of this situation it's interesting that TEAMtalk are reporting that Liverpool are among clubs to have checked in on Lennart Karl of Bayern Munich.

The 17-year-old sensation could be the next Wirtz and while he has an agreement in place to sign a new deal with Bayern Munich, it is unlikely that he will remain with the German giants for his entire career.

Liverpool's interest in the player therefore is fascinating.

Like Wirtz, Karl is a sublimely technical attacking midfielder who is full of tricks and who is just a joy to watch. He is not the tallest but he is very creative and he scores goals.

He is very much your typical no.10.

Now, right now, Liverpool have Wirtz so there is no need for Karl. But in the coming years if the system and formation changes, there could be a place for Karl at Anfield.

For now, it's clear he will stay at Bayern. But the fact that Liverpool have their eyes on him would suggest he is a player to keep an eye on.

Liverpool had their eyes on Wirtz for many years before pulling the trigger to sign him. And they could repeat this extraordinary deal to sign Karl in the future.
