Liverpool is preparing for a busy start of the summer transfer window, with a deal for Bayer Levekusen -star Florian Wirtz in treatment and Arne Slot has found a way to balance the books
Liverpool is said to focus on the sale of Darwin Nunez after he has received a deal over the line to sign Florian Wirtz. The Reds are in negotiations to sign Wirtz van Bayer Leverkusen in what is expected to be a club record transfer and they are already looking for ways to earn some money back.
Arne Slot would like to do the transfer processes of the club asked this summer and they are ready to sign Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong van Leverkusen. Frimpong has already agreed to a relocation of £ 29.5 million and a five-year contract, while Liverpool is supposed to have submitted an opening offer of € 100 million (£ 85 million) plus add-ons for Wirtz.
Leverkusen holds for more and believe that the 22-year-old is worth more than £ 100 million. If the German side gets what they want, this would represent a club record for Liverpool, whose most expensive signing remains the £ 85 million from £ 64 million plus add-on-uses they Benfica for Nunez in June 2022.
Liverpool has money available after signing Federico Chiesa from Juventus last summer, but they will also strengthen their money by selling unwanted players. NUNEZ started only eight Premier League matches this season and is in line to be sold this summer, after he has contributed only seven goals and seven assists in 47 games.
The Daily Mail reports that Liverpool would like to find a buyer for Nunez because they want to reinvest the funds in a new striker. Atletico Madrid is linked to a relocation for the International Uruguay and a deal seems to suit all parties.
Liverpool reportedly wants to sign Hugo Eintracht Frankfurt, but has also followed Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig and Atleti's Julian Alvarez. Ekitike, a 22-year-old France International, is appreciated at £ 84 million by Frankfurt after 22 goals and 12 assists in 48 games in all matches this season.
He has also been associated with Chelsea and Frankfurt -sports director Markus Krosche has admitted that they might be forced to sell the young person. “He is one of the most interesting strikers on the European market. Hugo has to decide,” the club chef told sport 1. “I am happy that we have him. If he decides otherwise, that is our motto: if a player develops faster than we, let him go.”
Earlier in the season, Slot was forced to respond to suggestions that NUNEZ was gesturing for financial reasons. Nunez was not played to prevent him from causing a further payment to Benfica of approximately £ 4.2 million – something that is cleared.
But it seems that his time could end in Merseyside, with a lock who wanted to apply about the potential of the Uruguay International. “I don't know exactly what will happen. One of the most important strengths we had this season is that everyone accepted their role,” Slot said recently.
“And his role could sometimes be to start every game, hardly to be picked up, sometimes to be picked up. Sometimes it can't start every game, sometimes hardly any minutes.”
