Kicker has revealed the details of the ongoing negotiations between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen regarding Florian Wirtz’s transfer.

It’s been less than two weeks since Liverpool’s interest in Wirtz was first reported, but it appears as though the deal will be over the line in the next couple of days.

The player is believed to want the transfer completed before he joins Germany’s UEFA Nations League squad on June 2.

Liverpool on their part have escalated efforts to sign the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, submitting an official bid exceeding €100 million (£84 million) as negotiations accelerate.

And now German publication Kicker has revealed the details of the negotiation between Leverkusen and  Liverpool.

According to the report, which @WerkselfXtra quoted on X, Leverkusen and Liverpool are yet to agree on a transfer fee for Wirtz.

However, the report offered some positive updates, revealing that although Liverpool and Leverkusen were €50m apart in their initial negotiations, the deal will go through.

“Liverpool FC and Bayer Leverkusen have yet to agree on a transfer fee for Florian Wirtz,” the report said.

“The English club’s initial offer was €100m plus add-ons.

Leverkusen’s initial demand exceeds €150m – they’re aiming for a fixed fee of €130m-150m.

Even if the sides were likely more than €50m apart at the beginning of negotiations, the deal will go through – and bring Bayer a record fee.”
