However, it now looks like Liverpool are set to secure his signature, with a deal expected to be finalized soon.
Sources close to the club indicate that talks are nearing completion, with both sides in agreement on personal terms and image rights. The proposed five-year contract would not only bring one of Europe’s most promising young stars to Anfield but also underline Liverpool’s ambitions under new manager Arne Slot.
Wirtz played a crucial role in Leverkusen’s Bundesliga title win and their Europa League run, earning praise for his vision, technique, and maturity. His addition is expected to strengthen Liverpool’s midfield and attack, particularly in light of recent player departures and the ongoing squad overhaul.
Supporters are eagerly anticipating an official announcement, which could come before Germany kicks off its Euro 2025 campaign. If finalized, the transfer would represent one of Liverpool’s most significant moves in recent years and a bold signal of intent from the club’s leadership
