Liverpool Makes Official €100M+ Bid for Florian Wirtz

Liverpool have made a significant move to sign German star Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen by submitting an official bid exceeding €100 million, including performance-related add-ons, marking a potential club-record transfer. Wirtz, 22, has expressed a clear preference for Liverpool over Bayern Munich and has reportedly agreed on personal terms, with negotiations between the clubs progressing swiftly to finalize the deal soon. The German midfielder impressed in the Bundesliga with 16 goals and 15 assists this season and is seen as a key addition to bolster Liverpool’s attacking options under manager Arne Slot following their Premier League title win. Bayer Leverkusen initially demanded up to €150 million but are believed willing to accept a lower fee with realistic add-ons, while Liverpool aim to finalize the signing early in the summer window. Wirtz’s arrival is expected to elevate Liverpool’s squad quality and herald a new era for both player and club, with optimism about his adaptability to the Premier League’s intensity. The transfer would surpass Liverpool’s previous record signing and underscore their ambition to remain competitive at the highest level.
