Liverpool’s €135M Offer for Florian Wirtz Rejected by Bayer Leverkusen – Talks Ongoing
German outlet Bild reports that Bayer Leverkusen have turned down Liverpool’s €135 million bid for star midfielder Florian Wirtz.
The Premier League giants are reportedly aiming to reduce the total cost of the transfer to €135 million, while Leverkusen remain firm on their €150 million valuation.
It is currently uncertain whether Liverpool plans to close the gap through a higher fixed fee or via performance-based add-ons. Nevertheless, Leverkusen are said to remain confident that the deal will eventually go through.
According to the report, Liverpool have already secured approval from their ownership group to pursue the €150 million deal. However, including a player as part of the transaction is not being considered at this stage of negotiations.
