Liverpool fans are buzzing with anticipation after a journalist hinted that a private jet could be bringing a high-profile signing to Anfield.
Following a dominant season under Arne Slot, where Liverpool claimed the Premier League title with a ten-point lead over Arsenal, excitement is building ahead of the summer transfer window, set to open on June 1.
Despite only adding Federico Chiesa last summer, the Reds cruised to victory. Key players like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah have extended their stays, though Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to depart on a free transfer.
Today (May 27), Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong reportedly landed in the UK to finalize a move to Liverpool. A video shared by Sky Sports News appears to support the claim.
However, fans are even more eager about the potential arrival of Frimpong’s teammate, Florian Wirtz. Valued at around £120 million, the 22-year-old midfielder is said to prefer Liverpool over Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
On social media, journalist Nicholas Bieber stirred further excitement by suggesting that the same private jet used for Frimpong’s journey would fly to Cologne tomorrow — where Wirtz is returning from holiday.
This sparked a wave of speculation online, with fans reacting enthusiastically. Some praised the detective work, others joked about getting emotionally invested, and many expressed cautious hope.
Meanwhile, manager Arne Slot has acknowledged that while strengthening the squad is necessary, it’s not easy.
“City and Arsenal are planning to reinforce, so it would be unwise for us not to,” Slot told BBC Sport. “It’s hard to improve a title-winning squad, but if the right players become available, we’ll go for them — though that’s not always realistic.”
