Liverpool Intensify Florian Wirtz Chase with Third Bid in Preparation
Liverpool are ramping up efforts to secure the signing of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz this summer, following two unsuccessful offers already rejected by the German champions.
As reported by Kicker (via The Mirror), the Reds are now formulating a third, enhanced proposal for the 22-year-old midfielder. This latest bid could include players such as Harvey Elliott or Jarell Quansah, both of whom are reportedly admired by Leverkusen and could be used to sweeten the deal.
Wirtz is said to have declined interest from Bayern Munich, signaling a clear preference to join Liverpool instead.
Leverkusen Hold Firm on Valuation
The Bundesliga titleholders have placed a £126 million price tag on their talismanic playmaker. Despite the steep valuation, Liverpool remain keen to land Wirtz, whose performances over the last two seasons have marked him as one of the elite young talents in Europe.
Named Bundesliga Player of the Season two years running, Wirtz contributed an impressive 31 goals and assists during the latest campaign.
Why Wirtz Fits Liverpool’s Vision
Wirtz’s ability to operate both centrally and on the flanks makes him a perfect fit for Arne Slot’s evolving Liverpool side. His creativity, technical skill, and eye for goal would ease the attacking burden currently carried by Mohamed Salah and Luis Díaz.
Though the fee is considerable, Liverpool see Wirtz as a long-term cornerstone — a player with the potential to reach world-class status and elevate their midfield to new heights in the seasons ahead.
