Florian Wirtz looks set to move to Liverpool - and the talented German will be hoping his transfer to Merseyside will be smoother than the time controversy engulfed him

Liverpool have submitted a club-record €130 million bid to sign Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz this summer, a source has told ESPN.

Premier League clubs are putting plans in place for the summer transfer window which initially opens for a short window between June 1 and June 10 in the hopes of getting deals done ahead of the Club World Cup.

A stunning report is adamant Real Madrid can steer Florian Wirtz away from Liverpool and towards Spain by way of their trump card, while Fabrizio Romano has also weighed in on the transfer saga.

The reasons for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz snubbing Manchester City in favour of a transfer to Liverpool have been revealed.

Previously, reports indicated that Bayern Munich has an inconsistent plan for Wirtz with the executives communicating one thing and Kompany stating another. There were also reports that Liverpool FC ’s Arne Slot simply had a better vision and sales pitch for Wirtz.
