Liverpool’s Triple Thunder: Wirtz, Frimpong & Kerkez Arrive for Under £200 Million

Liverpool FC have made an emphatic start to their summer rebuild, securing three high-calibre signings for less than £200 million—a statement of serious intent.

Florian Wirtz – The Attacking Maestro (≈£116 m)

  • Position: Attacking Midfielder (22)

  • From: Bayer Leverkusen

  • Fee: Base £100m, rising potentially to £116.5m.

  • Profile: The German prodigy finished last season with 10 goals and 13 assists, earning Bundesliga Player of the Season honours .

  • Analysis: Pundit Gary Neville praised Liverpool’s aggressive move, positioning Wirtz as a “world‑class player” whose talent justifies the hefty outlay. A Reddit supporter added:

    “He’s far and away the closest thing to KDB available… only 21 years old… already a top player”.

Jeremie Frimpong – Right-Back Reinforcement (£29.5 m)

  • Position: Right-Back (24)

  • From: Bayer Leverkusen

  • Fee: £29.5m release clause triggered.

  • Profile: A Dutch international with consistent Bundesliga form, a key piece in Leverkusen's title-winning campaign.

  • Analysis: Expected to step into Trent Alexander‑Arnold’s role, Frimpong adds pace, attacking flair, and defensive solidity.

Milos Kerkez – Left-Back Future (£40 m)

  • Position: Left-Back (21)

  • From: Bournemouth

  • Fee: £40 m agreed

  • Profile: A dynamic defender with strong attacking instincts—2 goals, 5 assists, high tackle rate, 80% accuracy in passing.

  • Analysis: Dubbed a “machine,” Kerkez brings energy and progression on the flank—ideal to groom as Robertson’s long-term successor. Even Liverpool fans are excited:

    “40m for a player like that is fucking easy”.


Squad Impact

  • Total Outlay: ~£185 m–£190 m—remarkably under £200 m.

  • Positions Upgraded: Creative link-up in midfield (Wirtz), wing-backs reinforced both sides (Frimpong & Kerkez).

  • Manager’s Vision: Arne Slot appears focused on reinforcing tactical balance and youthful dynamism across the spine.
