Liverpool have delayed all their transfer plans while they focus on finalising the signing of Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz, reports in Germany state. The Reds have struck an agreement worth €136.

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has hit back at his own player, Joshua Kimmich, over comments he made about Florian Wirtz 's impending transfer to Liverpool. The 22-year-old made his preference of the English champions over the German heavyweights clear - paving the way for a £116m agreement.

The 22-year-old registered 16 goals and 15 assists across 45 games in 2024-25, as Leverkusen finished second in the Bundesliga.
