Liverpool's predicted Florian Wirtz fee will set new English RECORD | OneFootball

Liverpool's expected final fee for Florian Wirtz is expected to see a new English transfer record. The Reds are going all-out for the superstar.

Liverpool are deep in talks with Bayer Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz. The Reds surprised everyone by forcing their way to the front of the queue for the German playmaker and now they're on the brink of a deal.

Bayern Munich were, of course, fully expected to land Wirtz. Their imagined first-option on all elite German talent was there in play, putting them in pole position.

But Wirtz had other ideas. He fancies a move to Anfield, having been impressed by the facilities at Liverpool and receiving a key promise from Arne Slot.

So now the Reds are hoping to close this deal quickly. That does mean finding a fee for Leverkusen that leaves them 'happy' to let go of their star asset.

New reports, however, suggest that could be very close.

Liverpool's Florian Wirtz fee

The Daily Mail claims Liverpool are Leverkusen are expected to find a middle ground shortly between the Reds' latest offer and the German's asking price.

Liverpool have offered around £109m for Wirtz, while Leverkusen continue to push for £126m. It's thought, says the report, that both parties will shake hands at £120m (around €143m).

It would be a record-breaking fee all around. Liverpool's record purchase would be absolutely shattered, while Leverkusen get a record sale.
