US EditionLiverpool Sent 'Destroyed' Florian Wirtz Transfer Plan as £125m Message Sent - Liverpool Echo
- Liverpool has made multiple bids in May and June 2025 to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in Liverpool, England.
- The clubs disagree on Wirtz's value, with Leverkusen demanding around €130 million and Liverpool's offers falling short, causing complex negotiations.
- Liverpool's second bid valued Wirtz near €125 million with €100 million upfront plus add-ons, while Leverkusen seeks a higher total fee and proposed player swaps.
- Football finance expert Stefan Borson said Leverkusen's negotiating position was "destroyed" by Wirtz's agent, his father, who aims to remove competition; Liverpool said they will pay "a good fee" but not €125 million unless Wirtz wins the Ballon d'Or.
- Liverpool remain optimistic a swift agreement will conclude the club-record signing, signaling major summer reinforcements with additional targets and ongoing transfer talks.
