Liverpool believe they are closing in on a deal for Florian Wirtz(Image: Getty Images)

Liverpool hope to complete a deal for Florian Wirtz within days despite submitting another offer that is below Bayer Leverkusen's valuation of the playmaker.

This is the third bid made by the Premier League side.

It is their highest yet with the package coming in at £113million - £100m of which is up front before the extras are paid as add ons.



Bayern Munich were also keen but they've been usurped in the pecking order by the Premier League champions.

Personal terms won’t be an issue once a fee is agreed and the player is waiting for the green light to head to Liverpool for a medical next week after Germany face France in the Nations League third-place play-off on Sunday.

Liverpool have already negotiated with Leverkusen once this summer, signing Jeremie Frimpong.

But after landing the title he's wasted no time in pursuing new recruits as the Reds look to build on this year's success.

Germany legend Rudi Voller - who left his role as sporting director of Bayer Leverkusen in 2022 after 17 years - has given insight into the discussions and claimed that the German club would make Liverpool wait on a deal, despite their hopes to wrap it up soon.

"It’s no secret that he’d like to go to Liverpool.

That’s why he costs a few euros more."

As well as Frimpong and Wirtz Liverpool are also looking to complete a deal for Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez.
