Florian Wirtz is one of the best up and coming talents on the planet.

Coming off of another Bundesliga season in which he has consistently impressed, he now appears destined for a big move to the Premier League.

Wirtz has won back-to-back Bundesliga Player of the Season awards which is further proof of his talent and potential.

Since Xabi Alonso’s switch from Bayer Leverkusen manager to real Madrid manager, several players seem to be following the Spaniard out the exit door.

Centre-back Jonathan Tah opted to run down his contract and was unveiled as a new Bayern Munich signing earlier this week.

Another player in their defence has become Liverpool’s first signing of the summer transfer window, as right-back Jeremie Frimpong has joined the Reds on a £29.5million deal after Liverpool triggered his release clause.

A solid replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold and a hole in the team that has been quickly plugged by Arne Slot’s side.

Focusing back on 22-year-old midfielder Florian Wirtz, an update has arrived on the situation regarding the player that may cool the excitement for at least a few more days.

BILD have reported that talks between Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool FC are still ongoing.

However, there is still no agreement on the transfer of top star Florian Wirtz to the Reds.

The clubs’ expectations are still diverging.

As of Sunday morning, a deal before the start of the Nations League final tournament seems unlikely.

A deal is still believed to be very much on, it is just down to the clubs to negotiate a deal that both sides are happy with.

This follows the news earlier this week that Liverpool had submitted an offer worth up to €130m in total, a new improved bid on the original €100m offered.

Wirtz could join an already stacked midfield department that boasts the likes of Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch.

The German playmaker will add attacking thrust and creativity to Liverpool’s engine room as they look to defend their Premier League title next season.

A statement signing, and you feel that Liverpool are not done yet as they continue to have a transformative summer.
