Liverpool Near Leverkusen Double Deal as Wirtz Talks Progress

Liverpool’s busy summer plans are moving forward as talks for Florian Wirtz advance. The Reds are in deep discussions with Bayer Leverkusen for the German star while finishing a deal for Jeremie Frimpong.

WIRTZ DEAL MOVES CLOSER

Liverpool leads the race to sign Florian Wirtz with talks at an advanced stage. The midfielder has scored 57 goals and made 65 assists in 197 Leverkusen appearances. Despite expectations, he is keen on joining Liverpool. Reports suggest personal terms with Wirtz are agreed, marking commitment to Liverpool.

While a deal isn’t finalized, talks are positive. Leverkusen reportedly values Wirtz at £126 million (€150m). Reports suggest a fee-lowering player exchange. Caoimhin Kelleher, Jarell Quansah, Harvey Elliott, or Tyler Morton could join Leverkusen as part of the package.

FRIMPONG DEAL CONFIRMED

Negotiations for Wirtz progress alongside Liverpool’s imminent Jeremie Frimpong capture. The right-back’s £30 million transfer is nearly done. He completed his medical this week, and after scoring 30 goals and making 44 assists for Leverkusen, will be Liverpool’s first summer signing.

His friendship with Wirtz could be pivotal, drawing the midfielder to Liverpool. Having them both would strengthen the Reds’ title defense next season.

SLOT’S KEY ROLE

Arne Slot seems important in the Reds’ transfer strategy. The Dutch boss led them to Premier League glory in his first season, and has identified star men for the future. Slot’s vision and style appeal to stars like Wirtz.

Liverpool have big plans after their remarkable title win, which they will celebrate tomorrow against Crystal Palace. With Wirtz and Frimpong, they hope to succeed at home and abroad.

BAYERN AND CITY MISS OUT

Wirtz was previously tipped to stay at Leverkusen or join Bayern Munich, but Liverpool has become his preferred destination, which is a huge win for the Reds. His family reportedly kept Munich and Manchester City well-informed, but Liverpool impressed with their project.
