Wirtz deal close

The long-running news about Liverpool’s attempts to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen look to be finally coming to an end.

The two clubs are reportedly in discussions over the structure of a transfer that could be worth £114m.

Talks are now focused on the structure of the final details of the move, including the value of the add-ons. The Bundesliga club had valued the midfielder at around £126m, but it’s likely to be slightly less, yet still smashing Liverpool’s £75m record signing of Virgil van Dijk in 2018.

It is rumoured that Wirtz is currently on Merseyside for a medical which, if true, could mean we get a formal announcement on the next day or two.
