Bayer and Liverpool Near Agreement on Wirtz Transfer Deal
Bustin' a Move for Wirtz: Liverpool and Leverkusen Nearing a Deal
It seems like it's gettin' serious between Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool FC in their quest for German wonderkid, Florian Wirtz. According to multiple reports, a transfer deal for the young sensation is almost sealed. Let's dive into the latest happenings!
- Cashin' In: The estimated value of Wirtz's transfer is reportedly around 150 million euros, as per media outlets such as Kicker and Sky Sports. This whopping sum includes bonuses, and if finalized, would shatter the British transfer record, surpassing Chelsea's 121 million euros deal for Enzo Fernández.
- Negotiations Still Alive: As of June 10, while reports suggested that a full agreement was close, the two clubs were still in discussion to finalize the deal, according to Sky Sports. However, renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on June 16 that a full agreement has been reached, with Wirtz set to undergo a medical after agreeing personal terms with Liverpool two weeks earlier.
- The Back-and-Forth: Leverkusen initially demanded around 126 million pounds (approximately 150 million euros) for Wirtz, but Liverpool were initially reluctant to meet this figure, according to reports. There have been no recent reports of counter-offers; instead, the focus appears to be on finalizing the agreed terms.
Bayer Leverkusen's managing director, Fernando Carro, publicly stated last year that a minimum of 150 million euros would be required for Wirtz, setting the stage for this high-stakes transfer saga. The German powerhouse had to fend off interest from Bayern Munich for Wirtz's signature, ultimately losing the battle.
So there you have it! It appears that the transfer of Florian Wirtz to Liverpool is nearing its end. Will the young star be able to break records for both clubs and make a splash in the Premier League? Stay tuned!
Sports enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the potential move of European-league standout, Florian Wirtz, to England's Premier League, as Liverpool FC and Bayer Leverkusen seem to be closing in on a deal worth an estimated 150 million euros, surpassing the current British transfer record, according to reports from Kicker, Sky Sports, and others.
