“I think he would do well with Jurgen Klopp” – Karl-Heinz Korbel wants Bayer Leverkusen star to join Liverpool
“I think he would do well with Jurgen Klopp” – Karl-Heinz Korbel wants Bayer Leverkusen star to join Liverpool.
German football executive Karl-Heinz Korbel believes Bayer Leverkusen star forward Florian Wirtz would be an ideal replacement for Sadio Mane at Liverpool.
The 18-year-old attacker has been one of Bayer Leverkusen’s key players this season and already has four caps for Germany.
Meanwhile, Sadio Mane is part of the undisputed front three at Anfield alongside Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. However, the trio are all left with just 18 months left on their contracts.
Although Mane is also not getting any younger and will be 30 years old in April. Liverpool will sooner or later need to replace their attacking trio.

Karl-Heinz Korbel believes Florian Wirtz would be an ideal fit into the Reds’ system under Jurgen Klopp. The Bayer Leverkusen legend said:
“A player like Wirtz needs an environment in which he feels comfortable in order to develop.
“If he leaves in 2023 or 2024, he can choose the club: Barcelona, Madrid, Bayern, Liverpool. I think he would do well with Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool as the successor to Sadio Mané.”
Florian Wirtz has had an outstanding season for Bayer Leverkusen. The German international has scored eight goals and provided 12 assists in 23 appearances across all competitions.
It is worth noting that the 18-year-old attacker still has a contract at Bayer until the summer of 2026. Wirtz is currently valued at €70 million by Transfer market.
