Reds Chiefs Rally to Hijack Bayern’s Move for Leverkusen Star After Family Visit Sparks Hope
Liverpool’s hierarchy has held urgent discussions about smashing their transfer record to sign Bayer Leverkusen sensation Florian Wirtz, with sporting director Michael Edwards personally greenlighting a £127 million (€150m) pursuit of German football’s crown jewel.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder, whose dazzling performances powered Leverkusen’s Bundesliga triumph, has become the most coveted talent in Europe this summer. After Manchester City reportedly withdrew upon learning the staggering costs involved, Liverpool have accelerated their long-term interest with a high-stakes push to outmaneuver Bayern Munich.
Why Liverpool Are Going All-In
- Critical timing: Wirtz’s family visited Merseyside last week, intensifying the Reds’ belief a deal is possible
- Strategic move: Edwards views the signing as transformative for Arne Slot’s new era after their Premier League title win
- Domino effect: Deal would follow imminent arrival of Wirtz’s Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong, who has completed his medical
Manager Slot hinted at major reinforcements after Liverpool’s win over Brighton: “We need extra weapons this team doesn’t have… Top clubs like City spend £200m. We must improve both through transfers and internal growth.”
With Bayern lurking and Wirtz’s price reflecting his status as a generational talent, Liverpool’s emergency meeting signals their determination to land a statement signing that could redefine their attack for years to come. The coming weeks will test whether their bold financial gamble can pry away Leverkusen’s prized asset.
