Liverpool latest transfer news for the 22-year-old German professional footballer Florian Wirtz

Liverpool is interested in signing Florian Wirtz, but before making a bid for the Bayer Leverkusen offensive midfielder, they would need to get guarantees that he wanted to leave Germany. According to Sky Sports News, Manchester City has cooled their interest in Wirtz. Liverpool is interested in signing Wirtz.

In order to make an offer for Florian Wirtz, Liverpool would need to acquire confirmation that he desired to leave Germany first. However, Liverpool is interested in signing him.

At this time, it is anticipated that the attacking midfielder will either remain at Bayer Leverkusen, where he has a contract that runs until 2027, or move to Bayern Munich.

Wirtz, who is 22 years old, is valued by Leverkusen at €150 million (£126 million), which means that Liverpool would have to pay a greater sum for him than the club record of £75 million that they paid Southampton for Virgil van Dijk in 2017.

The possibility of Wirtz remaining in Germany is becoming increasingly realistic; yet, Liverpool has not given up on the possibility of acquiring his services during the summer.

Following the conclusion of the Premier League title three weeks ago, talk has already began regarding the other areas in which Liverpool would aim to enhance their roster in order to get ready for a renewed assault from teams such as Manchester City and Arsenal.

“I’ve said many times already that we, as a club, are very happy with the players we’ve got,” he explained to reporters.

A portion of the choice is made by us, but there are certain circumstances in which players who haven’t played a lot are not looking forward to another season in which they don’t play a lot.

That being said, there is always a process that is ongoing, and we need to make sure that we are prepared in the event that we are able to enhance the squad.

However, it is challenging to improve the strength of this team. The fact that we have such a large number of outstanding players is the reason why we were able to win the league.

With regard to what we are discussing, it is a process that is ongoing. My opinion is that this club has demonstrated, on numerous occasions in the past, that they are capable of making well-informed choices.

“And we made the right decision this season as well not to bring in a player at all – except for Federico Chiesa [for £10m] – and that worked out quite well.”

The cold interest that Man City has in Wirtz

In the meantime, Sky Sports News has been informed that Manchester City has reduced their interest in Wirtz.

Following up on their initial conversations with the athlete and his entourage, City is not expected to follow up on their conversations.

The huge costs of a deal, which might reach as much as £250 million (€300 million) including transfer fee and salary over the course of a long-term contract, are a big contributor to this situation with a significant impact.

Reports from Sky Germany indicate that Leverkusen are requesting a transfer fee of more than £126 million (€150 million) for the attacking midfielder, and Bayern Munich are still in negotiations to acquire his services.
