I just don't see Liverpool paying what it would require to get him. I think he wants Bayern, but if it's a Harry Kane/City situation where Leverkusen make it as difficult as possible, City under Pep makes too much sense. Especially because they'll pay the asking price.
We'll see how stubborn Leverkusen, Wirtz, and Bayern are during negotiations, and if it allows City to swoop in and steal him.
