Liverpool have taken a major step toward securing one of Europe’s brightest talents, Florian Wirtz, with a staggering £113 million offer submitted to Bayer Leverkusen. While the bid falls just short of Leverkusen’s £126 million valuation, negotiations are advancing rapidly, and a record-breaking deal could soon be finalized.
Liverpool’s Ambitious Move for Wirtz
According to reports from England and Germany, the Reds have tabled a £100 million upfront fee plus £13 million in add-ons for the 22-year-old attacking midfielder. The German champions remain firm on their €150 million (£126 million) price tag, but Wirtz’s strong preference for Liverpool could be the deciding factor in negotiations.
Why Wirtz Wants Anfield Move
Despite interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester City, Florian Wirtz has reportedly set his sights on Liverpool. The prospect of playing in the Premier League under new head coach Arne Slot is believed to be a major draw. Even Rudi Völler, Sporting Director of the German Football Association, has confirmed Wirtz’s interest in joining the Reds.
A Record-Breaking Transfer in the Making?
If Liverpool meets Leverkusen’s demands, Wirtz would smash the club’s transfer record, surpassing the £85 million paid for Darwin Núñez. He could even become the most expensive signing in Premier League history, highlighting Liverpool’s ambition to compete at the highest level.
What’s Next?
While no final agreement has been reached, sources indicate that talks could accelerate in the coming days, with a potential deal finalized as early as next week. Fans and pundits alike are buzzing over the possibility of Wirtz joining Liverpool’s attacking ranks.
