After winning the Premier League with Liverpool, coach Arne Slot was immediately given the green light to push forward with transfer deals. Not being able to rest on his laurels and needing to overhaul the squad early is the crucial lesson that the Dutch coach learned from his predecessor Jurgen Klopp.
Jeremie Frimpong played for Liverpool for 5 seasons
Just hours after announcing their first new signing Jeremie Frimpong on a five-year contract worth 35 million euros, Liverpool continued to put on the table Bayer Leverkusen with an offer for striker Florian Wirtz worth 125 million euros.
This is a record transfer fee in English football at present but is still lower than the initial request of about 25 million euros from the Bay Arena team.
Frimpong is the perfect replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold
If Jeremie Frimpong, 24, is the perfect replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold's right-back position, Florian Wirtz will be an important link in Liverpool's attack once Diogo Jota or Darwin Nunez have to leave this summer.
Leverkusen has not responded to this deal because they know that Liverpool will find it difficult to increase the asking price while the German team will certainly persist with the amount of 150 million euros once the team's most important striker leaves.
Will Florian Wirtz be this summer's blockbuster signing?
If the bid is successful, even for 125 million or more, Liverpool will set a new transfer record in England, surpassing Chelsea's purchase of Enzo Fernandez for 121 million euros in the 2022-2023 season. Florian Wirtz is even likely to be the main character in the biggest "blockbuster" deal of the summer of 2025 in European football.
Florian Wirtz is 22 and has a bright future ahead of him.
Florian Wirtz joined Leverkusen in 2020 from the Cologne youth system for just 200,000 euros. He worked hard and became one of the brightest talents in European football in recent years.
Florian Wirtz played a key role in Bayer Leverkusen's double last year and last season, despite being absent for a lot of time due to injury, Wirtz still scored 16 goals and had 15 assists.
