Liverpool are on the verge of securing the signing of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, with hopes to finalize the deal and complete his medical before the weekend, per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The Reds have tabled an offer exceeding €100 million (£85m+) for the 21-year-old German midfielder, who has thrived under Xabi Alonso. Wirtz is reportedly eager to join Liverpool, and personal terms are expected to be agreed without issue.
Slot and Hughes Moving Quickly in the Transfer Market
Following their Premier League title triumph in April, new head coach Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes are actively rebuilding the squad. Jeremie Frimpong has already completed his medical, while Milos Kerkez is nearing a move after agreeing on personal terms. Wirtz is poised to become the marquee addition of Liverpool’s ambitious summer.
Strong Financial Position Fuels Ambition
Liverpool’s dominant league season and booming commercial success have provided substantial funds. Financial analyst Stefan Borson projects £151 million from league revenues alone, with total income expected to exceed £700 million—giving Slot the resources to shape his ideal squad.
Wirtz to Add Flair and Firepower to Midfield
Wirtz is expected to inject top-tier creativity and energy into Liverpool’s midfield. Known for his intelligence, playmaking, and scoring ability, he could form a formidable partnership with the club’s attacking line and become a key figure in their push for continued domestic and European success.
Quick Facts:
- Transfer Fee: €100m+ (£85m–£100m)
- Medical Scheduled: This weekend
- Player’s Stance: Wirtz is keen on the move
- Other Signings: Frimpong (medical done), Kerkez (terms agreed)
This signing would mark a strong statement of intent from Liverpool as they enter a new era under Arne Slot
