According to football.london, Chelsea have denied rumors that manager Enzo Alonso is keen to reunite with Florian Wirtz this summer.
Alonso previously coached Wirtz at Bayer Leverkusen, where he helped the German international deliver his best performances. Those displays under Alonso's management earned Wirtz a €116 million move to Liverpool last summer, though the former Leverkusen winger has endured a difficult start at Anfield.
The 23-year-old made 49 appearances for Liverpool across all competitions in his debut Premier League season, scoring just 7 goals and providing 10 assists. With Alonso now beginning his first managerial role in English football at Chelsea, speculation about a potential reunion has inevitably intensified.
Reports suggest Chelsea are monitoring Wirtz and could make a move depending on their attacking options this summer. When football.london approached sources close to the club for comment, they dismissed the claims.
Chelsea aim to sign at least two top-quality players ahead of Alonso's maiden season at Stamford Bridge. Several names have been linked with the club in recent weeks, but sources told football.london days ago that rumors involving Stones, Nwaneri, and Lucas Bergvall are unfounded.
Wirtz is the latest name to feature in this list of speculation.
