Liverpool Handed Huge Wirtz Boost as Bayern Chief Makes Honest Transfer Claim

Liverpool is emerging as the leading club to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer 2025 transfer window.
This development follows Wirtz's rejection of Bayern Munich, who had shown strong interest but now appear ready to concede the transfer battle.
Wirtz, a 22-year-old attacking midfielder with 57 goals and 197 senior appearances for Leverkusen since 2016, contributed 16 goals and 15 assists in the 2024/25 season when his team won their first Bundesliga title.
Bayern president Herbert Hainer confirmed Max Eberl told him Wirtz is "leaning towards Liverpool," while Bayern chief Uli Hoeness dismissed the player's England trip as media exaggeration.
If completed, the transfer could break British records as Leverkusen demand around €150 million, signaling a major squad change and raising Liverpool’s chances of signing the German talent.
