Indeed, talks have progressed nicely with the German only wanting to join the Anfield outfit, but a fee hasn’t yet been agreed upon by Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool.

There were reports on Tuesday evening that a £126million bid had been accepted for the attacking midfielder, but those rumours have since been shut down by Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen sources.

At the moment, it feels impossible for the deal to fall through with Fabrizio Romano even sharing how Liverpool’s coaching staff feel about having a player of Wirtz’s calibre available to them next term.

Throughout the 2024-25 season, Wirtz contributed to 31 goals across all competitions and was one of Xabi Alonso’s standout players at Bayer Leverkusen.

Big excitement among all people at the club,” he said.

“It’s about the management, it’s about the coaching staff, looking forward to working with a player like Florian Wirtz, who can also offer different solutions on the tactical point of view, who can play in several positions up front, so it can be an excellent addition to a team who already won obviously the Premier League title last season in a fantastic way.

“There is excitement and it’s not just about the fan base.

The German is just 22 years old, but the impact he’s had on Leverkusen over the last couple of seasons has been unmatched.

Indeed, Liverpool already have Dominik Szoboszlai to play as their attacking midfielder, but as was shown in one of their last games of the season against Brighton, the Hungary international can thrive playing in a deeper role.

Szoboszlai and Mac Allister have been key cogs in the way Liverpool attack, and if they both started a game with Wirtz ahead of them, Liverpool would no doubt have one of the best midfield trios in the league.
