Liverpool are not wasting any time this summer.

After a successful Premier League title run, the focus at Anfield has shifted quickly to strengthening the squad.

And the approach has been anything but relaxed.

The Reds are pushing early, moving with clear intent in the market.

This summer is different from last year.

There’s no Euros or Copa América to interrupt pre-season plans.

No long absences.

That gives Arne Slot a rare chance to work with his full squad from the start.

And with new faces expected to join up soon, there’s a sense of urgency, purpose, and momentum.

One major deal has already gone through.

Another, even bigger one, is nearly done.

It’s shaping up to be one of the biggest windows in Liverpool’s history.

And the best part for the club?

They’ve stuck to their strategy: smart, focused, and value-driven—unlike some rivals who continue to throw money around without long-term planning.

Liverpool have reached a full agreement with Bayer Leverkusen to sign Florian Wirtz in a deal worth £116 million, including £16m in add-ons.

The move follows three weeks of intense negotiations led by Liverpool’s new sporting director, Richard Hughes.

The transfer will be a club-record fee if all clauses are met.

According to Paul Gorst of Liverpool Echo, Wirtz, 22, is set to undergo his medical this week before returning to his summer holidays.

There are no concerns over personal terms.

Initially, Liverpool considered a six-year deal to spread the cost, but Wirtz will now sign a five-year contract.

Wirtz was named Bundesliga Player of the Year this past season and is seen as a transformative signing—on par with when Liverpool landed Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker in 2018.

Club insiders believe Wirtz will live up to the price tag.

Meanwhile, Jeremie Frimpong, signed earlier in the window for £29m, and Wirtz are both expected to report for pre-season on July 7.

With interest ongoing in Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez and talk of a new No.9, Liverpool’s recruitment team are not finished yet.

The goal is clear: you don’t win by standing still.
