In a thrilling turn of events, Liverpool is reportedly on the brink of sealing a deal for the highly-coveted Florian Wirtz— and it could all be wrapped up in just a few days!

After Manchester City unexpectedly withdrew from the race and Bayern Munich faced an outright rejection from the star player, the Reds have surged to the forefront for the 22-year-old sensation.

The news is a bittersweet pill for Bayer Leverkusen, who have watched Wirtz flourish since 2020. Losing one of Germany's brightest attacking talents is tough enough, but the thought of him joining fierce Bundesliga rivals would be even more of a setback.

Liverpool's charm offensive seems to be working wonders, as Wirtz is increasingly drawn to the club's ambitious project. According to reports from TBR Football, negotiations could conclude as soon as Monday! Over the weekend, Bayern president Herbert Hainer hinted that Wirtz is leaning towards Liverpool rather than Bayern’s Allianz Arena.

"[Bayern chief] Max Eberl informed me that Florian Wirtz is probably leaning towards Liverpool," Hainer revealed. "I can't predict what will happen next with Leverkusen, but it looks promising for Liverpool."

While Leverkusen's eye-popping valuation of £126 million ($170 million) might slow things down, whispers suggest they may be willing to soften their stance, considering a deal that could include substantial add-ons.

Interestingly, Liverpool has already struck a deal for another Leverkusen star, Jeremie Frimpong, with an official announcement expected once the summer transfer window opens. Frimpong has passed his medical and is ready to step into the shoes of Real Madrid-bound Trent Alexander-Arnold.

This smooth transition hints at a blossoming relationship between the two clubs, further increasing the chances of Wirtz’s swift transfer.

The prodigious talent, born in 2003, can excel in multiple attacking roles, including the coveted No. 10 position. With an impressive tally of 57 goals in 197 appearances for Leverkusen, Wirtz also made his mark on the international stage, scoring twice for Germany at Euro 2024 last summer.

Stay tuned—Liverpool fans might just be celebrating a massive coup in the coming days!
