Liverpool pay 100 million euros for Wirtz deal

Liverpool have made an initial bid for Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz.

Liverpool have the advantage of signing Wirtz.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, "The Kop" have put on the negotiating table an amount of 100 million euros (about 84 million pounds), including add-ons, to Leverkusen. Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing. Liverpool hope to complete this deal soon to focus on other goals.

According to Romano, Wirtz has informed Leverkusen that he only wants to join Liverpool. In the 2023/24 season, the German international played a key role in Leverkusen's journey to the double, when the team went unbeaten in the Bundesliga, won the German Cup and reached the Europa League final.

Kicker said that when he met with Liverpool coach Arne Slot, Wirtz clearly saw his position and role at Anfield if he arrived. The Dutch coach also made a strong impression on Wirtz thanks to his clear vision and careful preparation for the players.

Slot also spoke about the possibility of adding players this summer. He told the BBC : “Manchester City could strengthen their squad again. Arsenal are also planning similar things, so we need to look for players to strengthen our squad as well."

Bayern Munich were once a strong candidate to sign Wirtz, but the midfielder refused to come to the Allianz Arena.

Before negotiating to welcome Wirtz, Liverpool also reached an agreement to recruit Jeremie Frimpong, this midfielder's teammate at Leverkusen. Frimpong has a contract release clause worth 35 million euros.
