English champions Liverpool have taken a significant step in their pursuit of one of Europe's most promising talents, Florian Wirtz, by submitting a formal transfer bid to Bayer Leverkusen.
According to reliable sources, the Merseyside club has presented an official offer worth €100 million plus performance-related bonuses for the 22-year-old midfielder. The specifics of these bonus clauses are expected to be detailed in the contract proposal.
Negotiations between the clubs remain ongoing, with another round of talks scheduled for May 26th as Liverpool look to expedite the transfer. The Reds view Wirtz as a cornerstone figure in rebuilding their attacking options for the future.
The German international has enjoyed an exceptional season with Leverkusen, recording impressive numbers across all competitions with 16 goals and 15 assists in 45 appearances.
According to Statbet transfer valuation metrics, Wirtz currently ranks among the top three most valuable under-23 midfielders in European football, reflecting his status as a premium acquisition target.
This move comes amid reports that Jeremie Frimpong is also expected to complete a transfer to Liverpool in the near future, suggesting an aggressive recruitment strategy from the Anfield club this summer.
