Liverpool’s 2024/25 season has not even finished yet, but early signs suggest that this summer could be one for the ages.

Jeremie Frimpong is set to become Liverpool’s first signing of the transfer window, with the Reds activating the right-back’s £30m release clause having flourished at Bayer Leverkusen under former Anfield star Xabi Alonso.

Indeed, Wirtz would be a world-class addition for Liverpool’s ranks this off-season, and Bayern now fearing that the 22-year-old could end up at Anfield is an encouraging sign that the Reds are on the verge of something quite incredible.

Liverpool have not had a marquee signing for quite some years, with the last world-class player many fans will agree that was brought in via the transfer market was Thiago Alcantara back in 2020 after winning the Premier League with Jurgen Klopp.
