In a major move early this morning, Liverpool FC have reportedly submitted a club-record £109 million bid for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, underlining their ambition to sign one of Europe’s most promising young players.
The 21-year-old German international was instrumental in Leverkusen’s historic unbeaten Bundesliga title win last season, racking up 18 goals and 20 assists across all competitions. His standout performances have caught the attention of Europe’s elite clubs, including Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich.
Despite Liverpool’s hefty bid, sources suggest that Real Madrid may already have a verbal agreement in place with Wirtz and his camp, potentially putting them ahead in the competition. Still, Liverpool’s aggressive pursuit shows their clear intent to land the midfielder.
Leverkusen, led by manager Xabi Alonso, are reportedly holding out for around £120 million, with Wirtz still under contract until 2027 — giving the club leverage in negotiations.
With the transfer window heating up, Liverpool are expected to continue pushing hard to bring Wirtz to Anfield. Fans and analysts are watching closely as this saga unfolds, potentially becoming one of the summer’s standout stories
