Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly holding out for £126m for Wirtz, as they stand firm on their original asking price for their star player.

Despite this, reports in Germany stated yesterday that Florian Wirtz to Liverpool was a done deal, and a further update has arrived that further hints at a near conclusion.

The timeline or Florian Wirtz’s medical at Liverpool has now been revealed.

The formal completion of the transfer is expected in the coming days.

A medical is scheduled for next week before Wirtz goes on holiday, knowing that a new era is about to begin for him.

With Wirtz very quickly agreeing to the move, it is still down to the clubs to agree a fee but once that is out the way, progress will be swiftly made.

Germany were knocked out of the Nations League earlier in the week by Portugal, which will most likely accelerate any deal for Florian Wirtz.

Liverpool have traditionally not opted for spending big, but after tabling an offer of over £100m for Moises Caicedo in the summer of 2023, the money is clearly there, and Wirtz has been highlighted as someone who will take Liverpool forward under Arne Slot.

You feel that it is only a matter of time before Wirtz becomes a Red.
