Bayer has revealed the player Liverpool aims to acquire in the potential Virz transaction.
Swap Deal on the Horizon?
Rumors are swirling about a potential shakeup in the football world, as Bayer Leverkusen expresses interest in two Liverpool players in a possible trade for their star midfielder, Florian Wirtz. After securing defender Jeremy Frimpong, Liverpool is keen on pursuing Wirtz, one of Bayer's prized assets.
Previously, Bayer sought around €150 million for Wirtz, but a swap deal is now being discussed. Sky Sports reports that the German club has their eyes on two young Liverpool players – Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah, both of whom have been linked with transfers and are expected to depart this summer.
20-year-old Elliott, who has had decent performances under Jurgen Klopp, has seen reduced playing time since the arrival of Arne Slot. Last season, he featured in 28 games, often as a substitute. Previously linked with Wolverhampton, a potential swap deal for Wirtz is now on the table.
The second candidate, Jarell Quansah, played in 25 games last season. A transfer to Newcastle had been on the cards, but now he's being considered for a potential deal with Bayer.
Yet, it's worth noting that current reports remain silent on a possible swap deal involving Elliott and Quansah for Wirtz. The focus has mainly been on Liverpool securing a significant transfer for Wirtz, with negotiations revolving around an enormous sum, estimated to be over €135 million, including add-ons[1][2]. Personal terms have been agreed, and the player awaits a medical once the deal is finalized between the clubs[1]. There's been no hint of a player exchange as part of this negotiation[1][2][4].
