Latest Updates on Liverpool Transfers: Wirtz and Kerkez Deals
Fabrizio Romano has advised Liverpool fans to stay calm amid anticipation over the potential signings of Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez.
Supporters are eagerly awaiting official confirmation of the two players joining Liverpool, as both are reportedly close to finalizing their moves to Anfield. However, recent progress has slowed, causing some fans to grow impatient on social media. Despite this, fans have been consistently reassured that both transfers remain on track.
Romano’s Message to Fans
On Friday afternoon, Romano tweeted a simple message to Liverpool supporters: “Relax with Florian and Kerkez,” accompanied by a meditation emoji. He followed up hours later emphasizing the same point: “Again for Liverpool… relax for both Wirtz and Kerkez. All proceeding in the right direction.”
In a further update via his YouTube channel, Romano revealed Liverpool officials are scheduled to meet with Bournemouth next week to finalize the deal for Hungarian left-back Kerkez. Meanwhile, negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen for playmaker Wirtz are reportedly close to completion, with only minor contract details left to settle.
What to Expect Next
It’s understandable that fans want these deals to be completed quickly rather than dragging on. But such transfers, especially those involving large fees—like Wirtz’s expected club-record fee exceeding £109 million—take time to finalize. Leverkusen, understandably, want to ensure they secure the best terms possible.
The positive news is both players are keen to join Liverpool, reducing the risk of another club swooping in at the last moment. The main focus now is ironing out final contractual details.
Kerkez’s absence from Hungary’s recent squad due to an unspecified “problem” has added to speculation around his transfer. Fans are encouraged to trust club insider Richard Hughes to help close these deals soon.
If Liverpool manage to complete these signings by mid-June as promised, most fans will be satisfied with the club’s recruitment progress so far.
