Liverpool are closing in on the signing of the summer.

Step by step, Liverpool are edging closer to reaching an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for the signing of German wonderkid Florian Wirtz.

The second player Liverpool will be taking from the Bundesliga side after the transfer of Jeremie Frimpong, both clubs are working hard to close the deal so that it doesn’t turn into a sage that drags over several weeks.

Lots to negotiate however, and after Liverpool’s third bid submission yesterday, it remains to be seen whether Bayer Leverkusen will accept or reject it.

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.

Florian Plettenberg has set the timeline for Florian Wirtz’s medical at Liverpool.

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.

Plettenberg has confirmed that Leverkusen and Liverpool are negotiating the final details of a deal for Florian Wirtz.

A full agreement is close after a new third offer was submitted.

The total package, including bonuses, is expected to reach up to £150m.

He then revealed the big news – the medical could take place next week.

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 will be acquiring a superstar, as Florian Wirtz is one of the best young talents on the planet and despite the fee, you feel as if he could be worth it.

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.
