Liverpool remains in negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen about a deal for Florian Wirtz. Bayer wants £ 120 million and Liverpool his £ 109 million, but Wirtz has made it clear that he wants the move.
The Germany star is convinced by the clear plan of Arne Slot from where he will play in the attitude of Liverpool as a no. 10.
If the Reds allow Bayer's demands, Wirtz would be the most expensive signing in British football, which paid the £ 115 million Chelsea Brighton for Moises Caicedo.
Richard Hughes, the Liverpool sports director, has presented a package to his Leverkusen contradiction Simon Rolfes with easily feasible performance-related bonuses, such as Champions League qualification, but the clubs still have to match a final fee.
The conversations will continue on Tuesday if the club tries to find a middle ground.
There is also a possibility that Bayer could bring a Liverpool player to Germany as part of the deal. Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah are both admired by Leverkusen, and both can be presented as brand weight.
Liverpool has already successfully done business with Bayer this summer and signed Jeremie Frimpong last week for £ 29.5 million.
Further conversations are expected to take place this week with Bournemouth also for £ 40 million with left-back Milos Kerkez.
Hughes was the technical director of Bournemouth when the South Coast Club took the Hungary International from the Dutch side AZ two years ago.
Liverpool still has to receive an approach from Everton for Ben Doak, even though the winger is interesting for manager David Moyes.
The former Celtic youngsters, who has been filled up six times by Scotland at senior international level, spent the 2024-25 season on loan in Middlesbrough.
Doak was impressed by the Riverside and produced seven assists and three goals in 24 championships.
