Liverpool are closing in on signing Florian Wirtz following a €130 million bid and already have an agreement with the player.
According to Fabrizio Romano via Give Me Sport, Liverpool are expected to complete the signing of Florian Wirtz in the coming days. The Reds remain in talks with Bayer Leverkusen as both clubs look to reach a common ground with regard to the fee and the structure of the deal.
Wirtz is widely regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in the game, and the Reds are working hard to secure his services this summer. While Arne Slot has done wonders in his first season in charge, he seeks more firepower ahead of next season and FSG are looking to back him all the way in this window.
Florian JWirtz has already agreed terms with Liverpool
The German international is a priority target for Liverpool and they had already received a massive boost when the 22-year-old informed interested clubs and Bayer Leverkusen of his desire to move to Anfield. While speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Wirtz already has an agreement in place with the Reds on personal terms.
Florian Wirtz is keen on joining Liverpool, and the club are working hard to strike a deal as soon as possible. While Liverpool fans were worried about Real Madrid hijacking the deal, Romano has assured them that the Merseyside club are still expected to get a deal over the line.
Liverpool have tabled an improved second bid
The English club’s chiefs have been in talks with Bayer Leverkusen for a while now. The talks are now believed to be well advanced, and there could be an agreement between all parties in the near future. Meanwhile, the Reds recently put forward their second bid for Florian Wirtz as confirmed by David Ornstein.
The Merseyside outfit have submitted an offer worth up to €130 million in total, which includes a massive fixed fee along with potential add-ons. The two clubs are discussing the structure of the deal and when the payments are to be made.
It is set to be a club-record deal for the Merseyside outfit, and lengthy negotiations are only natural for a transfer of this magnitude. With the player eager to make the move, a breakthrough is likely in the near future despite interest from other clubs.
