Florian Wirtz Already Has £140m Role Model as Liverpool Make Contact for Huge Transfer - Liverpool Echo
- Florian Wirtz, a 22-year-old attacking midfielder for Bayer Leverkusen, is at the center of a summer 2025 transfer battle mainly involving Liverpool and Bayern Munich in Germany and England.
- Manchester City withdrew from pursuing Wirtz due to the total proposed cost of up to €300 million, refocusing their targets elsewhere ahead of the transfer window.
- Wirtz has been a key player for Leverkusen, helping them win the 2023-24 Bundesliga title undefeated and earning their player of the season award last year.
- Liverpool would need to exceed their £75 million transfer record set in 2018 to sign Wirtz, described as versatile as a forward or false nine and one of Europe's top young talents.
- Wirtz may remain in Germany for the near future, either at Leverkusen or Bayern Munich, while Liverpool attempts to persuade him toward a Premier League move.
