Journalist: Liverpool’s ‘Third and Final’ Bid for Florian Wirtz ‘to be Accepted’ | OneFootball

Liverpool Close in on Florian Wirtz as Transfer Talks Reach Final Phase

Liverpool appear to be on the brink of landing one of Europe’s most exciting young talents. Florian Wirtz, the creative force behind Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga-winning season, is edging closer to Anfield after what appears to be an intense period of negotiations. David Lynch, speaking to Dave Davis on Anfield Index’s Media Matters podcast, offered a confident and detailed insight into where the deal currently stands.

The Reds have reportedly submitted a third bid in the region of £113 million, a figure which Lynch claims could potentially become an English transfer record. Despite earlier bids being rejected, the mood remains overwhelmingly positive within the club’s hierarchy.

“I’d be amazed if Florian Wirtz doesn’t become a Liverpool player,” Lynch stated. “And it could even be an English transfer record.”

Confidence Grows as Final Details Take Shape

Much has been made in the media about the urgency or perceived delays surrounding the Wirtz transfer, but Lynch was quick to allay any fears that the deal is stalling.

“I can’t get my head around the panic over this deal,” he said. “It’s progressing at decent speed for a deal at this price.”

He clarified that the hold-up is down to minor details being ironed out, something not unusual at this level of investment. With the window about to open and personal terms expected to be a formality, Liverpool’s meticulous approach should soon be rewarded.

“There’s huge confidence on both sides that this will be done and the next bid will be accepted.”

The feeling from Lynch is that Liverpool know precisely what figure will seal the deal, and the final offer is expected to meet that threshold.

“I would be shocked if this third and final bid isn’t accepted because Liverpool know exactly where they need to place it for it to be accepted.”

Timing is Key as Medical Plans Set

Despite external noise about deadlines and registration, Lynch played down any suggestion that Liverpool are working under pressure. In fact, he hinted that the club have a clearly defined schedule that includes a planned medical later this week.

“We’ve spoke about that first deadline being tomorrow but that doesn’t matter to Liverpool,” he said. “They don’t need to get it done before that.”

“They can have him complete his medical on Wednesday and then as soon as the window opens again, he will sign for Liverpool.”

The timing of the announcement could be carefully staged to maximise visibility, particularly following Liverpool’s title-winning campaign under Arne Slot. The club is in a strong position, and the capture of Wirtz would be a statement of intent that the new era at Anfield is not just about transition, but domination.

Slot’s System Could Be Perfect for Wirtz

From a tactical perspective, Wirtz fits the mould of a modern Liverpool signing. His ability to play between the lines, create, press, and contribute goals makes him an ideal candidate to operate in Arne Slot’s aggressive and fluid system.

Having already lifted the Premier League trophy in his debut season, Slot appears to be building on success with the sort of elite talent that can extend Liverpool’s dominance. Wirtz’s potential arrival shows that the club are not resting on their laurels, and are willing to invest heavily in youth with world-class potential.

If the deal is finalised in the coming days, as expected, Liverpool fans can look forward to a frontline enriched by one of Europe’s brightest attacking midfielders.
