Liverpool Eyes Wirtz, Kerkez, Frimpong, and Keeper Overhaul

Liverpool have submitted a €100 million (£84 million) bid for Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, who has turned down Bayern Munich and is preparing for a potential move to Anfield, though Leverkusen are holding out for €150 million (£126.1 million). Wirtz, recently awarded Bundesliga Player of the Season, is a key midfield target for Liverpool as they look to rejuvenate their squad. Alongside this, Liverpool are in advanced talks to sign Bournemouth’s 21-year-old left-back Milos Kerkez to succeed Andy Robertson, and are close to acquiring right-back Jeremie Frimpong. The club’s goalkeeping situation is also in flux, as Caoimhin Kelleher may depart amid the likely arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili, with Aston Villa and Manchester United showing interest in Kelleher. These transfer moves form part of a broader strategy to strengthen several key positions ahead of the new season under manager Arne Slot. Liverpool aims to remain competitive both domestically and in Europe.
