This bold move places Wirtz at the top of Liverpool's transfer wishlist following his stellar performances in the Bundesliga. Reports suggest Wirtz has already visited North West England in search of accommodation, indicating that a potential move to Anfield is well underway.

The structure of the bid ensures a substantial guaranteed amount, reflecting the Premier League champions' strong intent while still negotiating below the full valuation. Despite not meeting the €150M price tag, Liverpool’s bid is one of the highest in their history.

Leverkusen are reportedly reluctant to let Wirtz enter the final two years of his contract, which runs until 2027. This reluctance opens the door for a possible agreement before the transfer window closes.

Sources reveal that Wirtz is eager to join Liverpool, even ahead of serious negotiations. His preference for the Reds reportedly led Bayern Munich to withdraw their interest.

Liverpool began talks with Leverkusen in May, aiming to seal the deal swiftly. Wirtz's recent visit to England and his proactive steps in finding housing suggest the move is nearing completion.

If the transfer goes through, Wirtz would join a formidable Liverpool squad aiming to dominate European football.
