Liverpool have made a £105m offer for Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz.
The German club value the player at €150m, which equates to just over £126m.
Bayern Munich and Manchester City are also trying to sign the 22-year-old, who was among one of the Bundesliga’s most impressive performers last season.
Up until a week ago, the Premier League champions believed the player wanted to stay in Germany but they’ve since been told he favours a move to Liverpool.
Wirtz, who has spent his entire senior career at Leverkusen, scored 10 goals and registered 12 assists in 25 starts as his side finished runners-up to Bayern Munich, a year on from winning a league and cup double.
The British record transfer fee currently stands at £107m, paid by Chelsea to Benfica for Enzo Fernandez in 2023.

Sormani não poupa Soteldo após vitória do Santos no Brasileirão: “Vai levar o pé gelado para o Fluminense”
Soteldo trocou o Santos pelo Fluminense (Divulgação/FFC) Fábio Sormani aproveitou o triunfo do Santos diante do Fortaleza para realizar um desabafo contra Soteldo. Negociado com o Fluminense, o meia-atacante foi descrito como um jogador “pé frio” e que não estava ajudando o Peixe. Além da ausência de gols e assistências, a falta de inteligência em campo fez o experiente profissional celebrar o acordo selado em 5,5 milhões de dólares (R$ 30,5 milhões). Sem Soteldo entre os atletas do elenco, Sormani vê uma mudança de sorte atrelada ao Santos. Por fim, antes do Fluminense entrar em campo pelo Mundial de Clubes, o jornalista sequer desejou sorte para o venezuelano, que promete ganhar espaço devido ao trabalho recente com Renato Gaúcho no Grêmio.

The Brewers’ flamethrowing to prospect hurled five innings of no-hit ball against the St. Louis Cardinals, walking four and striking out five, but departed the game alongside a trainer in the bottom of the sixth.AdvertisementMisiorowski appeared to have rolled his ankle, though his exit was ultimately attributed to right calf and quad cramping.The 23-year-old, who ranked 87th overall in The Athletic’s Keith Law’s top 100 preseason prospect rankings, rose through the minor-league system thanks to his powerful triple-digit velocity. He can routinely throw pitches over 1oo mph, and has been one of the hardest throwing pitchers in the minor-league circuit since he was drafted in the second round of the 2022 draft.That’s what he brought to the show, with the first three pitches of his […]
