Liverpool supporters are getting excited after a journalist claimed a ‘flight’ is set to pick up a new signing tomorrow.
Arne Slot’s Liverpool side cruised to the Premier League title, finishing a commanding ten points clear of runners-up Arsenal.
Remarkably, the Dutch manager achieved this milestone with just one summer signing — Italian winger Federico Chiesa.
Liverpool also had reason to celebrate the contract extensions of key figures, with captain Virgil van Dijk and Premier League Player of the Season Mohamed Salah committing their futures to the club. However, the campaign marked the end of an era for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has played his final match for Liverpool and will depart as a free agent when his contract expires.
Despite the transfer window not officially opening until June 1, Premier League champions Liverpool are already making moves.
Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong is reportedly on the verge of becoming the Reds’ latest signing, having arrived in the UK on May 27 to finalize the deal — a development seemingly confirmed by a Sky Sports News video.
While excitement is high over Frimpong’s imminent arrival, fans are even more eager to see his Leverkusen teammate, Florian Wirtz, follow him to Anfield.
The 22-year-old playmaker, valued at around £120 million, is said to prefer a move to Liverpool over rivals Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
On Tuesday evening (May 27), journalist Nicholas Bieber fueled the speculation and sent Liverpool supporters into a frenzy with a social media post hinting at the potential blockbuster transfer.
“The private jet that brought Frimpong to Liverpool today is flying to Cologne tomorrow!” wrote journalist Nicholas Bieber on X.
“And who did I mention earlier is flying back to Cologne from holiday tonight? Wirtz.”
The post sent Liverpool fans into a frenzy online.
One fan joked, “Next-level detective work haha.”
Another wrote, “You’re doing God’s work, sir… you deserve a Premier League winners medal.”
A third added nervously, “Lad, I swear if you break our hearts.”
While a fourth quipped, “Oh no, not the private jet tracking again.”
Arne Slot speaks on Liverpool’s summer plans
Liverpool boss Arne Slot has already outlined his transfer outlook in an interview with BBC Sport last week.
“City will probably strengthen again,” he said. “And if the rumours are true, Arsenal will as well — so it would be foolish not to look at improving our squad too.”
Slot acknowledged the challenge of reinforcing a title-winning team:
“This squad just won the league. It’s not easy to find players who can make us better — but there are a few out there.”
He added, “The problem is, those players often belong to clubs that don’t want to let them go. Still, we’ll try. Whether it’s possible remains to be seen.”
