Liverpool Intensify Florian Wirtz Pursuit with Third Bid Looming
Liverpool are ramping up their efforts to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, with a third bid reportedly in the pipeline after two earlier offers were rejected.
According to Kicker (via The Mirror), the Reds remain undeterred in their chase for the 22-year-old German sensation and are now preparing an improved offer that could include Harvey Elliott or Jarell Quansah as part of the deal. Leverkusen are believed to admire both young players and may be tempted by a player-plus-cash proposal.
Wirtz Prefers Anfield Over Allianz
The report adds that Wirtz has already snubbed interest from Bayern Munich, expressing a preference to join Liverpool instead. This decision marks a significant boost for Arne Slot’s side, who are seeking to reshape the squad for the coming season.
Leverkusen Hold Firm on Valuation
Leverkusen, fresh off their Bundesliga title-winning campaign, have placed a £126 million price tag on Wirtz. Despite the steep valuation, Liverpool are committed to bringing the midfielder to Anfield, viewing him as a key figure for the club’s long-term future.
Wirtz was instrumental in Leverkusen’s dominance last season, tallying 31 goal contributions and earning Bundesliga Player of the Season honors for a second consecutive year.
A Perfect Fit for Liverpool’s Next Chapter
Liverpool view Wirtz as a transformative signing. His versatility—capable of playing as a No.10, winger, or even deeper in midfield—would add a new creative edge to a squad that has relied heavily on Mohamed Salah and Luis Díaz for attacking output.
Seen as a generational talent, Wirtz is expected to thrive in the Premier League under the right development. Liverpool’s intent signals a clear ambition to build around young, elite talent as they prepare for a new era under Slot.
