Overview

• Liverpool have lodged an initial €100 million plus add-ons bid for Florian Wirtz, who has agreed personal terms in anticipation of a move from Bayer Leverkusen.
• The offer would surpass the £85 million paid for Darwin Núñez and signals the club’s commitment to reinforcing Arne Slot’s title-defending squad.
• Jeremie Frimpong, set to join from Leverkusen on a £30 million deal, has arrived in the UK to complete his medical and finalise his contract.
• Personal terms are also agreed with Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez as Liverpool prepare negotiations to secure the Hungary international.
• Bayern Munich have stepped aside in the race for Wirtz and are reportedly eyeing Cody Gakpo, while Liverpool’s long-term recruitment strategy has driven their transfer approach.
