Liverpool Reportedly Submits €100 Million Bid for Wirtz
Liverpool Football Club has reportedly initiated official talks with Bayer Leverkusen with an opening offer of €100 million for Florian Wirtz. transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reported that the Reds have made this bid, although the additional bonuses, if any, have not been specified. The negotiation process is currently ongoing and is expected to continue today.
It is unclear whether Leverkusen will entertain Liverpool's offer, as initial reports suggest the German team values Wirtz at €150 million. With Wirtz under contract until the end of June 2027, there is no immediate pressure to sell from the double champions of the previous season.
For long-time supporters of a move to Bayern Munich, Wirtz's apparent inclination towards Liverpool came as a surprise. Bayern president Herbert Hainer announced at a fan festival that Wirtz was inclined to join the Reds over the Bavarian giants. This development was communicated to sports director Max Eberl.
Florian Wirtz's potential move to Anfield Road may not be the only reunion with a former teammate. Reports suggest that Wirtz could link up with Jeremie Frimpong, who currently plays for Liverpool. Despite strong interest from Bayern, who made a strong push to sign Wirtz, he rejected the offer in favor of a move that promised fewer positional conflicts and better opportunities for regular playing time.
Nagelsmann Endorses Liverpool As "Super Club"
National coach Julian Nagelsmann views Liverpool as a suitable destination for Wirtz should the transfer go through. According to Nagelsmann, moving to Liverpool would be an excellent step for Wirtz as he would have the opportunity to play consistently in his preferred position. Nagelsmann also expressed that Bayern would not have been a poor choice for Wirtz, as they are a top-tier club in their own right.
In related news, it is worth noting that Liverpool's current bid of €100 million falls short of Bayer Leverkusen's €150 million valuation for Wirtz. Both parties are engaged in ongoing discussions to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Wirtz's apparent eagerness to join Liverpool may play a crucial role in the final outcome of the transfer negotiations.
The Commission has been informed about the progress of Liverpool's negotiations with the European leagues, including the Premier League and the United States, on various agreements. Florian Wirtz's potential move to Anfield Road might not just be a reunion with Jeremie Frimpong; it could also mark Liverpool's entrance into European football leagues, particularly the Premier League, should the transfer be successful.
