Liverpool Push to Secure Florian Wirtz Deal as Talks Begin with Bayer Leverkusen

Liverpool have made a formal approach to Bayer Leverkusen for the signing of German midfield sensation Florian Wirtz, sources confirm.

Following an initial green light from the player’s camp, the Reds are now actively negotiating with Leverkusen to agree on a transfer fee and package, hoping to strike a swift agreement.

The Anfield club is reportedly keen on closing the deal quickly, aiming to avoid a prolonged transfer saga that could invite interest from rival European giants. Wirtz, 21, has been a key figure in Xabi Alonso’s title-winning side, with his creativity, technical brilliance, and vision making him one of the hottest prospects in world football.

Liverpool see Wirtz as a central piece in their post-Klopp rebuild under new management and want to ensure the deal is finalized before the summer window heats up.

Should a transfer be completed, it would mark one of the marquee moves of the summer and a major statement from Liverpool in their bid to return to the pinnacle of European football.
