Hoeness hints Wirtz has already visited Liverpool, not Man City
- Uli Hoeness, Bayern’s honorary president, dismissed talk of Florian Wirtz meeting Manchester City: “You’ve been writing nonsense for weeks… he was at Liverpool,” he told reporters, adding that concrete facts will come “at some point.”
- Wirtz’s summer future is wide‑open: The 22‑year‑old Leverkusen star (16 goals, 15 assists this season) is on Liverpool’s radar, with The Athletic’s David Ornstein confirming the Reds have made contact with his camp. Bayern are still viewed as strong contenders.
- Liverpool close on Jeremie Frimpong: Ornstein also reports the Dutch right‑back will take a medical before completing a €35 m switch to Anfield on a five‑year deal, filling in for Trent Alexander‑Arnold when required.
- Next up for Liverpool: A Premier League trip to Brighton on Monday night.
