Liverpool Push to Finalize €100M Florian Wirtz Deal by Weekend
Liverpool are reportedly closing in on the high-profile signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, with the club aiming to complete the transfer and medical by the weekend, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano.
The Reds have made a bid exceeding €100 million (£85m+) for the 21-year-old German playmaker, who has been a standout performer under Xabi Alonso this season. Wirtz is said to be keen on a move to Anfield, and personal terms are not expected to be a stumbling block.
Strategic Summer Underway for Arne Slot
With Premier League title glory secured in April, new manager Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes have wasted no time in reinforcing the squad. Jeremie Frimpong has already undergone his medical, and Milos Kerkez is close to joining after agreeing personal terms. Now, Wirtz could be the crown jewel of Liverpool’s ambitious summer window.
Massive Financial Backing for Summer Moves
Thanks to a dominant domestic campaign and strong commercial performance, Liverpool are flush with cash. Financial expert Stefan Borson estimates the club will receive £151 million from Premier League distributions alone, with total seasonal revenues expected to surpass £700 million—giving Slot plenty of firepower to reshape the squad.
A New Creative Force at Anfield
Wirtz’s arrival would bring elite creativity and dynamism to Liverpool’s midfield, complementing the existing core and potentially forming a devastating link with the front line. His intelligence, vision, and goal-scoring ability make him one of Europe’s most sought-after young talents.
Key Details:
- Transfer Fee: €100m+ (£85m–£100m)
- Medical Target Date: This weekend
- Status: Wirtz wants the move; Liverpool are confident
- Other Targets: Frimpong (completed medical), Kerkez (personal terms agreed)
This move would send a strong signal that Liverpool are serious about sustaining their dominance under Arne Slot both domestically and in Europe.
