Liverpool are looking to wrap up some early transfer business after ending their Premier League season on Sunday.
The curtain came down on the Reds’ campaign this weekend, with a draw against Crystal Palace the final act of a glorious year.
There was delight as the Premier League trophy was lifted, with Liverpool supporters and players delighting in an unexpected success.
More pressure will fall on Liverpool next season, as expectations rise that a dynasty can be built at Anfield.
Part of the reason fans are confident they can go again in 2025/26 is because Liverpool are making big waves in the transfer market.
The Red have reportedly made a big offer for Florian Wirtz as they aim to smash their transfer record.
And as negotiations rumble on, Bayer Leverkusen managing director Simon Rolfes has spoken out on the potential of a deal being done.

Liverpool’s move to sign Wirtz has excited fans and pundits alike.
Former Reds winger Steve McManaman has predicted Wirtz to become a ‘superstar‘ with the Reds.
Leverkusen will of course be loathe to lose a player who has become one of their best during a golden age for the club.

Should he leave, Wirtz would join Xabi Alonso in heading for the exit this summer as the invincible Bundesliga winners of 2024 are broken apart.
With Alonso heading to Real Madrid, Leverkusen have moved to bring in former Man United manager Erik ten Hag.
“There is concrete interest from Liverpool, but there’s no more to say right now.
Florian is our player.”
Ten Hag, who may never get the chance to work with Leverkusen’s star man, refused to be drawn into commenting.
“I’ll work with the players who are available on 1 September,” said the Dutchman.
