It is reported that, the Blues have grew a serious amount of interest on Leverkusen‘s star player Florian Wirtz. As according to , Chelsea and few other English clubs have already tried to contact the player’s camp recently. The Blues are concreate on their decision as they want to boost up their squad, in order to compete for the big titles.
The rise of Florian Wirtz
Florian Wirtz was already considered as a great talent in his early days at the academy level. But he faced a horrible ACL injury at the age of 19 back in 2022. Some thought, it will be difficult for him to maintain his level after the injury.
But proving them wrong, the German wonderkid made such a remarkable comeback that now almost every club around the globe wants him at their side. Wirtz was the best player under Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen last season. The team who almost won an European treble.
The 21-year-old had 37 goal contributions, which helped his club to become the German champions after a long 30 years wait. Florian Wirtz was also nominated for the Ballon d’Or 2024 ceremony where he finished at the 11th spot.
How will Wirtz benefit the Blues
The arrival of Florian Wirtz will really help Chelsea to increase their attacking prowess. The German is a left footed player who can operate both as a Cam or a right winger. Just like the Blues superstar Cole Palmer. So, if he comes in it is expected that Palmer will shift to the right side.
And Wirtz will be playing as a attacking midfielder in place of the Englishman. It will help Palmer to focus more on scoring goals and providing assists. As he will not have any tension in his mind to drop deep in the pitch to collect the ball. Wirtz will be operating the game behind him.
But as per the reports of fichajes, the 21-year-old has attracted the attentions of big clubs like Real Madrid, Liverpool and Bayern Munich. So, it will be a really tough task for the Blues to pull of the £100 million attacker.
