The withdrawal would have occurred because the Citizens would have assessed that the cost of the signing is too high.
The transfer value would reach 300 million euros, including the amount paid to Bayer Leverkusen and the salary for the 22-year-old player.
According to the news released on Monday, Manchester City is still in the market for a midfielder to replace Kevin de Bruyne, who will leave the club in the middle of the year.
Morgan Gibbs-White, from Nottingham Forest, would be one of the alternatives to Wirtz.
According to Sky Sports, the German is Liverpoolβs dream for the number 10 shirt.
He traveled to England last week and had a meeting with Reds representatives during his one-day visit to the country.
Wirtz also attracts the interest of Bayern Munich, which, also according to Sky Sports, is preparing its first offer to Leverkusen to have the player.
Wirtz has a contract with his current club until mid-2027.
