Florian Wirtz only wants to become a member of Liverpool with conversations about a potential club record deal that continues with Bayer Leverkusen.
Leverkusen wants a deal that appreciates the player at £ 120 million. Wirtz is with the Germany team who is preparing for their semi-final of the Nations League against Portugal in Munich.
Bayern Munich and Manchester City also try to sign the 22-year-old, who was one of the most impressive artists of the Bundesliga last season.
Wirtz, who spent his entire senior career at Leverkusen, scored 10 goals and registered 12 assists in 25 Starts when his side finished second to Bayern Munich, a year after winning a competition and cup Double.
The British record transfer costs are currently £ 115 million, paid by Chelsea to Brighton for Moises Caicedo in 2023.
Frimpong is not Trent but can bloom
Every hope for finding a like-for-like replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold did not exist. He is a unicorn, a passing full-back like no other. But maybe Arne Slot did not want a Like-for-like replacement. Jeremie Frimpong brings different qualities.
The release clause in the Bayer Leverkusen contract from Frimpong was set at £ 29.5 million and that represents value for Liverpool. This is a 24-year-old player with a high performance record after his enormously successful three-seasons stay in the Bundesliga.
Julian Ward, technical director of Liverpool, has a mantra when it comes to recruitment. His conviction is that new signing sessions should have had a career in the ideal case before their Liverpool career. Frimpong has been an important part of the double -winning side of Leverkusen.
There will be an expectation that he can adjust quickly. Although born in Amsterdam and Dutch International, Frimpong grew up in northwestern England – only opting for the Academy of Manchester City above Liverpool for the convenience of living -working traffic.
