Liverpool is gearing up for a summer of changes with the departure of manager Jurgen Klopp and the appointment of Arne Slot to take the helm at Anfield. The Liverpool officials are outlining their transfer plans, with a key target being Florian Wirtz, a player seen as a crucial addition to the new era under Slot.
Wirtz has made a significant impact during Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten streak of 47 matches this season, including a notable 2-0 victory over Roma in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final. As a result, he has become a target for top European clubs.
Liverpool aims to get ahead of competitors such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich by initiating transfer discussions with Leverkusen. The expected transfer fee for Wirtz is rumored to be at least 110 million Euros.
The willingness of Liverpool to make a substantial investment in Wirtz further suggests the likelihood of Mohamed Salah’s departure from the club.
