Eintracht Frankfurt director tells Liverpool who can replace Mane

Eintracht Frankfurt legend Karl-Heinz Korbel believes Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp would be ideal for Florian Wirtz.

Wirtz, 18, is already a major player with Bayer Leverkusen and has also been capped by Germany.

Korbel views the teenager as a candidate to replace Sadio Mané at the Merseyside club. The current Eintracht Frankfurt director believes Wirtz can succeed under the orders of Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool.

“A player like Wirtz needs an environment in which he feels comfortable in order to develop," Körbel said.

“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."
