Breaking news: as Ralf Ragnick officially announce and give his go ahead in the signing of German wonder kid ,after yesterday’s midfield woe ...

 According to the sun, Ralf Rangnick wants

 to sign the £60m-rated attacking midfielder

 from the Bundesliga club, regardless of his

 role at the club next season.

Former Germany and Liverpool star Hermann

 has previously described him as the  best 

central midfielder he has seen in years, after

 impressing at Leverkusen, but this is not 

what United need when the transfer window 

reopens in January.

The report in question states that Wirtz 

is Rangnick’s No.1 transfer target.

A player who recently signed a new contract 

at Leverkusen until 2026, so it would take a 

big bid to prize him away anytime soon.

United need to prioritise a defensive midfielder

 in January or when the transfer window opens

 in the summer. That must be at the top 

of Rangnick’s list or whoever comes in at 

the end of the season.

Although we feel the need to question the 

credibility behind this story, Leverkusen’s 

director, Rudi Voller, has commented on the links.

Voller believes Wirtz will stay in the 

Bundesliga with Leverkusen.

“Not only because of the contractual situation

 – also because of the trust we have built 

in him and his family, we know that he 

will be in good hands here for a few 

more years,” Voller told Bild.

“At some point, maybe that day will 

come and this club will be too small for

 Florian, similar to Kai [Havertz].

“But that will still take a while. [My] 

wish is that Florian will stay with us for 

a few more years.

“That is important for us and for the 

whole of the Bundesliga and I think it’s

 his plan too.”
