Wirtz-to-Liverpool Transfer Talks Heat Up: Bayer Leverkusen Holds Firm on Demands Amidst Player Swap Rumors
Bayer Lehnsiefarth has reportedly turned down another offer from Liverbirds for Wirtz.
Ever wanted to witness a high-stakes transfer negotiation unfold? Well, buckle up, because Florian Wirtz's move to Liverpool is shaping up to be just that! But, Bayer Leverkusen seems determined to play hardball, leaving Florian and the Reds in limbo.
According to reports, Liverpool's latest bid for Wirtz amounted to a whopping €118 million upfront, with an additional €12 million in bonuses. Seems like a no-brainer, right? Not for the Bayer Leverkusen brass, who are rumored to be setting their sights on a minimum fee of €150 million[1].
To bridge the apparent €20 million gap, there are two possible solutions, as per "Kicker": more negotiating rounds or including another player in the mega deal[2]. When it comes to potential players, Harvey Elliott's name has floated around Bayer Leverkusen's internal discussions[3]. Elliott, an offensive powerhouse himself, seems to have piqued their interest.
Wirtz, apparently eager to leave Leverkusen, has reportedly turned down Bayern Munich, and even Manchester City dropped out of the race due to the expensive overall package[4]. As of now, the deal's details have remained primarily focused on the cash aspect, with no mention of player swaps or additional clauses[5]. But, keep your eyes peeled for more developments in this nail-biting transfer saga!
