EPL: Wirtz Set to Snub Bayern Munich for Liverpool

  • Liverpool have emerged as frontrunners to sign 22-year-old Germany attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in 2025.
  • Wirtz rejected Bayern Munich and informed their board of his preference to join Liverpool after discussions involving Liverpool's Arne Slot and Bayern's Vincent Kompany.
  • Leverkusen set an asking price of £126 million but may accept a lower base fee plus add-ons, with Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes leading the negotiations.
  • Wirtz scored 16 goals and provided 15 assists in 45 games this season, showing versatility by playing multiple advanced attacking roles for Leverkusen.
  • If completed, the transfer would surpass the British record fee of £115 million held by Chelsea and strengthen Liverpool's squad as they prepare for the upcoming season.
