Is it true Leverkusen are looking to get a player in return for Wirtz? Are we closer to a deal being completed?
They’ve discussed about it but I’m told add-ons is still the main focus of the negotiations. Yes, it’s closer.
There are reports of Tyler Dibling being linked to Tottenham and Man Utd – what’s the latest on his future?
He’s been linked with several clubs every week, all top clubs like him… but still nothing concrete ongoing.
There are reports claiming Liverpool could be in the market for Victor Osimhen, is he a target for the striker position?
I’m not aware of concrete contacts so far. But Liverpool remain in the market for one more offensive player, especially if Darwin leaves – and I expect him to go.
Liverpool are advancing in talks with Bayer Leverkusen to sign attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
The Premier League winners submitted an offer worth up to €130m (£109m) for the Germany international last week and remain determined to land him in the coming weeks, or even days.
Romano claims the two clubs are now discussing the structure of the deal and ‘all the solutions possible’, and there are expectations that an agreement could be reached fairly soon.
Wirtz is believed to have given the green light to an Anfield move this summer, despite interest from both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

After announcing Jeremie Frimpong last week
A move worth around €130m would make Wirtz Liverpool’s record signing, surpassing the £85m the Reds paid for Darwin Nunez in 2022.
Wirtz is coming off another impressive season in Germany, having scored 16 goals and provided 15 assists in 45 appearances across all competitions.
The attacking midfielder helped Leverkusen clinch their first-ever Bundesliga title last term but now appears set for a departure, alongside former teammate Jeremie Frimpong.
The Dutch full-back joined Liverpool for £29.5m on a five-year deal last week, becoming their first offseason signing, with both Wirtz and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez expected to follow.
