Football Gossip: Bayer and Liverpool Nailing Down Wirtz Deal
Parties Involved in Wirtz Transfer Negotiations, Bayer and Liverpool Edge Closer to Deal - Negotiations near completion between Bayer and Liverpool for Wirtz poker star transfer
Here's the juicy scoop on the football world's latest transfer drama between Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool FC over the coveted Florian Wirtz. Rumor has it, they're on the brink of sealing the deal, according to recent reports from "Kicker." The clubs are apparently locking horns over a whopping €150 million transfer fee.
As per Sky Sports' British sports channel, the ambitious football champions, Liverpool, are currently offering a smashing €134 million (including bonuses) for their prize catch. However, Bayer Leverkusen has set their sights higher, standing firm on a demand of €150 million.
Although a final agreement hasn't been signed yet, both Sky outlets, German and British, believe it's just a stone's throw away. This news comes shortly after Wirtz reportedly agreed to a transfer with Liverpool, despite having a contract with Bayer until June 2027.
The German powerhouse, Bayern Munich, was once a serious contender for Wirtz, but they had to throw in the towel. According to reports, Leverkusen previously snubbed Liverpool's second offer, which consisted of a fixed €118 million plus €12 million in bonuses. During the initial round of negotiations, Liverpool reportedly offered €100 million upfront with an additional €15 million.
Last year, Bayer's managing director, Fernando Carro, publicly announced that a minimum of €150 million would be necessary for Wirtz's transfer.
