Leverkusen’s €150m (£126m) valuation has led to protracted negotiations, with Liverpool’s latest €130m (£109m) bid rejected, though both clubs remain optimistic of bridging the €20m gap through structured payments.

With Leverkusen already identifying Nico Paz as Wirtz’s successor, the deal’s completion appears inevitable.

Fabrizio Romano provided a positive update on the transfer on Tuesday night, while BILD also affirmed that a deal will be struck soon.

David Ornstein also provided even more positive update on the situation on Wednesday.

According to The Athletic journalist, talks are ongoing between Liverpool and Leverkusen, despite the demands of the Bundesliga club.

“Bayer Leverkusen want a higher figure, and so if and when Liverpool do edge up, it could well be a British record transfer fee should this get over the line,” the journalist said.

“Where things are now is that this is progressing in the right direction.

The talks are ongoing.”

However, German publication Kicker, has now stressed that “the negotiations between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz are expected to continue into next week.”
