Liverpool Ready for Busy Summer as Wirtz and Kerkez Deals Near Completion
Liverpool are planning further transfer moves this summer, even as they close in on major deals for Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez.
Fresh off their 2024/25 Premier League title win, the Reds want to bolster their squad across the pitch as Arne Slot looks to put his own stamp on the team.
Key Arrivals So Far
Liverpool have already welcomed Jeremie Frimpong to Anfield, and Giorgi Mamardashvili will also join up after spending last season on loan at Valencia. But these arrivals are just the start.
Progress on Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez
Earlier reports claimed that Wirtz had turned down Bayern Munich in favour of Liverpool, and that move is now close to completion. According to The Times, the Reds have agreed an initial £100 million with Bayer Leverkusen, with up to £16 million in add-ons.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are also on the verge of signing Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez in a £45 million deal, which they intend to finalize after Wirtz’s arrival.
Combined with the investment already made on Frimpong and Mamardashvili, these transfers will take Liverpool’s spending comfortably past the £200 million mark — and they’re far from done.
More Transfers Incoming, Departures Expected
Beyond these headline additions, the club continues to work on further signings before the transfer window closes. Slot is also expected to trim the squad, with goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher having already been sold to Brentford.
Bottom Line: Liverpool mean business this summer. The Reds are pushing ahead with their rebuild, determined to maintain their edge as champions — and supporters can expect a busy few weeks at Anfield.
