“Liverpool ramp up pursuit of Florian Wirtz with third bid as Fabrizio Romano delivers reassuring update”
Liverpool have reportedly intensified their efforts to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, submitting a third transfer bid for the highly sought-after midfielder.
According to The Athletic, Liverpool’s previous offer of £109m was rejected by the Bundesliga runners-up, who are believed to be holding out for €150m (£126.5m). However, the Premier League champions have returned with an improved proposal.
Late on Friday, the Daily Mail revealed that Liverpool’s latest bid amounts to £113m, comprising a base fee of £100m with an additional £13m in performance-related add-ons. Negotiations between the clubs are ongoing.
Wirtz, who has openly expressed his desire to join Liverpool, is reportedly keen on the move. Talks are now focused on bridging the gap between the offer and Leverkusen’s valuation to finalize an agreement.
Adding to the optimism, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared in a late-night update on his YouTube channel that the deal is “almost there” and “close to being completed,” with only minor contract details remaining to be resolved.
Liverpool Likely to Return with a Fourth Bid for Wirtz
Despite Liverpool’s third offer for Florian Wirtz being just £4m higher than their previous attempt, it seems unlikely Bayer Leverkusen will accept the £113m proposal as they remain firm on their £126m valuation. However, Reds supporters can take solace in the fact that there’s no indication the Bundesliga side is ready to walk away from negotiations entirely.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has also urged Liverpool fans to stay calm, reassuring them that the deal is still very much alive and progressing. While a further bid from Anfield’s hierarchy might be necessary to meet Leverkusen’s demands, the response to this latest offer could serve as a key reference point for shaping any subsequent proposal.
Reports from Bild suggest a medical for Wirtz could potentially happen as early as next week before he embarks on his summer holidays. However, such a timeline depends on Leverkusen accepting the current offer or Liverpool swiftly assembling a more attractive package.
For now, the tug-of-war continues, but optimism remains that a resolution is on the horizon. Fans will be hoping it’s only a matter of time before Wirtz is officially unveiled as Liverpool’s newest star.
