Leverkusen beware, Liverpool are moving on Wirtz. And they are thinking about an offer that was never made

Liverpool are looking to beat off competition from Manchester City and Real Madrid for the Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz despite the presence in the squad available to Arne Slot there is a player with similar characteristics as Dominik Szoboszlai.

As reported by Team Talk the Reds they would like to increase the competition in the role so much that they are willing to put a very important offer on the table: 120 million euros, or what Bayer Leverkusen is asking for to let their star leave, who still has three years left on his contract and an excellent relationship with his coach Xabi AlonsoThis would be a record offer for the English club, which has never paid so much for the rights of a player, going as far as to offer 110 million for Moses Caicedo then ended up at Chelsea for 116 million plus 17 in bonuses in 2023.

It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid and Manchester City intend to match the offer or whether they will turn to other objectives, with Guardiola’s team currently appearing to be the most likely rival given the need to replace that Kevin DeBruyne whose contract is expiring and is unlikely to renew his relationship with the English club. In the background there is also the usual Bayern Munich who could enter the race for the young German playmaker.
