Liverpool have already offered €120m for the Germany attacker, though Real Madrid are also interested where Wirtz's former coach Xabi Alonso is now in charge.

Nagelsmann, ahead of Germany's tantalising Nations League semi-final clash with Portugal, said: "I've never told a player to move here or there.

"What's important is that he plays - and plays a similarly important role to the one he played in Leverkusen. We know that he's one of the best players in the world."
