Florian Wirtz will probably restore Liverpool a club record sum, and the Reds may have to raise money from other sources to finance a movement for the Bayer Leverkusen -star
After he had seen a second bid for Florian Wirtz, Liverpool was able to be in the position to sell to spend. They have already signed Giorgi Mamardashvili and Jeremie Frimpong this summer, where Milos Kerkez is still connected, so it can be a busy summer for both ins and outs.
The second offer from Wirtz would have seen the side of Arne Slot pay up to £ 109 million including add-ons. Former Liverpool -CEO Peter Moore believes that in order to increase that bit, at least one sale is probably necessary.
At the beginning of May, Slot pointed out the challenges involved in identifying new signing sessions. It was difficult for Fringe players to break into the starting XI, and if the caliber of new signing sessions goes a notch – some of those on the edge may have to look for minutes elsewhere.
“We just won the competition, we were so competitive V PSG [in the Champions League]It is not easy to find better players to improve us, “the Dutchman told reporters.” They must be available and we must be able to afford it. “
So, who can leave Anfield to finance the club the expected club record movement for Wirtz? Here Mirror Football looks at some of the options.
Harvey Elliott
The next range of Liverpool for Wirtz could see them offering a player to the German club instead of extra money. And England under the 21 international Elliott could be that player as Leverkusen wants someone to play in a similar role like Wirtz.
“It has been difficult with how much I played,” said Elliott in May when he thinks about his lack of action. The 171 minutes he played after Liverpool was confirmed, because title winners represented almost half of his competition campaign throughout the season, although he ended the campaign that on average played a target involvement for every 103 minutes that was played in all competitions.
“I tried as hard as I could and whatever happens,” he added. “It's about what is best for my career. It's about thinking and seeing what I can do. I'm here at the moment and I am concentrating on the last game.”
Jarell Quansah
Quansah has been advertised the other player as part of a potential sub -change agreement. The young defender started the first league match of Slot in August, but was eliminated during the break and did not succeed in loosening Ibrahima Konate for the rest of the season.
The 22-year-old, who can play in the middle of the back or the right back, made 25 performances last season. He has also been the subject of interest of Newcastle and could still be sold to raise money separately from potential liverkusen interest.
If he becomes a member of the German club, he would not be the first Englishman to move to the Bayara. Callum Hudson-Odoi spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Leverkusen from Chelsea, before moving to the current Club Nottingham Forest the next summer.
Caoimhin Kelleher
A man who is almost certain to continue is Caoimhin Kelleher. The £ 18 million from Brentford for the Irishman is almost complete, and he strengthened his position in a summer exit after the last game of the season.
“I also said it before, I have the feeling that I am good enough to be a number 1 and I have the feeling that I am good enough to play week, week out and that is what I want to do,” he said. “This season I was lucky to play a lot of games, but it is definitely something I am looking at.”
The interest of Brentford comes when they prepare for the current first-choice Mark Flekken to join Leverkusen. Liverpool already has a replacement on the way in the form of Mhamardashvili.
Darwin Nunez
It is fair to say that Uruguay striker NUNEZ did not hit the heights of him when he joined Benfica. He showed quality flashes under Jurgen Klopp, but was very much on the outskirts last season when Slot settled on his preferred frontline.
The majority of Nunez's minutes last season came from the bank – especially in the competition, where he only started eight times. It is difficult to imagine that he will get more opportunities next season, especially if Wirtz is used as part of a front three.
The question relates to who could pay Liverpool what they want for their number nine. If he is willing to spend a season or two in the Saudi Pro League, that can ultimately be the best solution.
Kostas Tsimikas
Laverpool left back Andy Robertson had moments last season that gave people reason to believe that he might not have had too long at the top. Although he waited patiently for his chance, Kostas Tsimikas does not look like the choice to act in his place.
In defensive sense, Tsimikas has Underwhelmed, to the point that Slot and the Liverpool transfer team started to look somewhere else. Milos Kerkez looks like the answer, in which Reds sports director Richard Hughes looked at a reunion with the man he brought from AZ to Bournemouth.
There have been Premier League left, with Leeds among those who are said to be enthusiastic. The newly promoted party could lose the Junior Firpo this summer, whereby the former Barcelona man would still agree a contract extension, leaving a gap behind that Tsimikas could fill.
Luis Diaz
Diaz has been an important man for Liverpool this season, scored 13 league goals and added three more in Europe. However, there has been a lot of interest in the Colombia star, and if Liverpool wants to collect considerable funds by selling only one player, he could be that MNA.
The partner of the attacker Gera Ponce shared what some have interpreted as a farewell message on social media in the midst of left with Barcelona and Al Nassr. However, he said former Porto Star Diaz, earlier in the year, previously in the year, that he was happy with Anfield.
“From the moment I arrived, I felt great proud,” said the Colombian. “I have always tried to work hard for this, and to see that things work for me nowadays, I am proud and I am really happy because that is what I work for.
Federico Chiesa
Chiesa was the only new arrival in the first summer of Slot and participated in a vast relocation by Juventus. He is connected to a return to Italy after a lack of minutes in a season interrupted by injuries that only one competition started, although Slot gave him hope for the future.
“He is good enough to play for us, or a club of our standards,” the manager of Liverpool was full. “In terms of the quality he has, he would earn more playing time at this football club, or the club for which he plays, because he has the quality to play for us.”
Napoli belongs to the clubs related to the Italian, and they have money to spend after the sale of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain in January. However, Chiesa can decide that it is too early to give up his hope to become a Premier League starter for his current employers.
