Liverpool have wasted no time in the transfer market after winning the Premier League title.
The Reds have already ironed out a deal for Jeremie Frimpong as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s replacement, while they have advanced in discussions for Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, too. However, most impressively of all, they appear close to bringing Bayer Leverkusen superstar Florian Wirtz to Anfield.
According to , a deal has been verbally agreed in principle for a transfer up to €150 million ($171 million) including add-ons. One of the biggest moves of the summer from a profile and financial perspective.
The 22-year-old has established himself as one of the world’s best attacking midfielders over recent years and was the talisman for Leverkusen’s incredible and unbeaten 2023–24 Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double. Wirtz, who was wanted by perennial German talent poachers Bayern Munich, has his heart set on a move to Merseyside.
It’s a hugely exciting transfer for Liverpool supporters, but where exactly will Wirtz fit into Arne Slot’s side?
