Liverpool improve Wirtz offer

Liverpool have now upped their offer for Wirtz, per several reports. This pushes things to around €140m and far closer to Leverkusen's asking price.

Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg explained things in an interview with Sky Sports.

"The total package is now worth almost €150m," he says. "With a big package of possible add-ons included.

"We didn't get confirmation two days ago for the 'full' agreement as some details and figures need to be clarified."

Importantly, Plettenberg revealed Wirtz's stance on proceedings after this latest offer.

"Florian Wirz is totally convinced that the deal will happen in the next couple of days," says Plettenberg. "I'm sure we can report about a done deal in the next week."

Everything continues to move in the right direction, then. Wirtz is confident, Liverpool are confident and we imagine Leverkusen are confident, too.

Lurking in the background, after all, is what happens if they don't find a deal here. It would mean Wirtz sticking around for another year, his price plummeting as he enters the final year of his deal in 2026.

On top of that, it almost certainly increases the chances of Wirtz joining Bayern Munich. That's another factor Leverkusen will be eager to avoid. Thankfully for all parties, it does appear this will get done.
