Overall, Liverpool’s chances of signing Florian Wirtz have increased significantly as he considers leaving Germany. The player’s change of heart is seen as a boost to Liverpool’s hopes of completing a club-record transfer, although the move is not yet advanced. Leverkusen values Wirtz at €150m, making him a costly acquisition for Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong has completed his medical with Liverpool, potentially becoming the first signing of the summer. Manager Arne Slot acknowledges the need to keep fringe players happy, as he has mainly relied on a core group of about 14 players. Strengthening the squad is a challenge due to the team’s success in winning the league.
It remains to be seen how the transfer window will unfold for Liverpool as they navigate potential signings and player retention.
