Liverpool told how much to pay to seal Florian Wirtz transfer after blockbuster £113m offer rejected by Bayer Leverkusen

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-brink-florian-wirtz-record-breaking-transfer-fresh-offer-bayer-leverkusen-eur150m/blt6da1e4af04b0b96a" target="_blank">Liverpool have been told to pay a fee totalling £118m to complete a deal for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz</a>, according to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14791611/Liverpool-final-offer-Florian-Wirtz-Bayer-Leverkusen.html" target="_blank"><em>the Daily Mail</em></a>. The Germany international has emerged as the Reds' primary transfer target this summer but the 2023-24 Bundesliga champions are keen to ensure they squeeze every available penny out of the current English title holders.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Mail's report adds Leverkusen would ideally want around £126m from Liverpool to complete the deal, but Arne Slot's side aren't prepared to go that high. However, a sum that reaches £118m with add-ons and bonuses could be enough to persuade the German side to finalise Wirtz's exit.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Wirtz had also attracted interest in recent months from Bayern Munich and Manchester City, but Liverpool swiftly emerged as his favoured destination. If he were to secure a move to Anfield, Wirtz would add to the Reds' already-strong midfield core which features Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Wirtz's future could be wrapped up quickly once he finishes international duty with Germany. Liverpool are also hoping to secure a move for Bournemouth's Milos Merkez, who would add competition for Andy Robertson at left-back.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR WIRTZ?
