After announcing the signing of Frimpong to replace the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool will now focus on looking for reinforcements to add more technical resources to their squad. At the moment, the main target is Florian Wirtz, and the Reds seem to be willing to do anything to secure this huge signing.
The latest reports indicate that Liverpool have made a bid of an impressive €130 million to try to sign the Bayer Leverkusen striker in June. In other words, a figure that would considerably exceed the amount invested in 2022 to sign Uruguayan Darwin Núñez.
Bayer Leverkusen have never shown much interest in negotiating Florian Wirtz before his contract expires in June 2026, and Bayern Munich were very interested in the center forward. However, reports indicate that Wirtz was very impressed with Liverpool's plans and would be very interested in joining the Premier League, leaving the Bundesliga frustrated.
Why Liverpool want to sign with Florian Wirtz?
It's not too difficult to understand why Liverpool are willing to make this major investment considering that Florian Wirtz has scored 57 goals and provided 65 assists in 197 games with Bayer Leverkusen. In addition to his impressive statistics, Arne Slot believes that this player has the ability to perform well in different attacking positions.
Julian Naglesmann has even said that he hasn't discussed transfers with Wirtz, without recommending any ideal team for next season. It should be remembered that Manchester City have shown strong interest in the striker in recent months as a replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, but the Citzens believe that it is more interesting to look for a cheaper player, as this is a financially unviable deal.
Florian Wirtz is a player extremely capable of making a decisive contribution in passing, key passes and dribbling, perfectly matching his individual qualities with the collective quality of Arne Slot's team in the Premier League.
