Breaking news: Liverpool’s £110m bid for Wirtz has been turned down, while Leverkusen is contemplating a swap deal involving a ‘phenomenal’ player…

A £110 million bid from Liverpool for Wirtz has been declined, as Leverkusen considers a swap deal featuring a ‘phenomenal’ talent…

Bayer Leverkusen has rejected two proposals from Liverpool for Florian Wirtz, with a reported £17m discrepancy in their valuations, as stated by the German publication Kicker.

The Reds are eager to secure Wirtz’s signature this summer, aiming to make a significant addition for Arne Slot.

After clinching the Premier League title this season, the Merseyside club is clearly intent on advancing and elevating their squad for the 2025/2026 season.

The acquisition of Jeremie Frimpong has already been confirmed, but Liverpool seems poised to continue their recruitment drive.

They are also preparing to submit a formal bid for Bournemouth’s left-back Milos Kerkez, who has already expressed his willingness to join Anfield this summer.

Liverpool’s £110m Offer Rejected by Leverkusen.

They might be interested in acquiring Harvey Elliott in exchange.

As reported by Kicker, Liverpool’s two bids for Wirtz have been declined, with the second offer amounting to approximately £110m.

Leverkusen is seeking an additional £17m to finalize the deal or a player in a potential swap.

Harvey Elliott has been identified as a player of interest for Leverkusen, but it remains uncertain if the ‘phenomenal’ midfielder would be interested in a transfer to the Bundesliga.

It would not be surprising if Elliott sought a move during the summer transfer window, particularly if Wirtz’s transfer is confirmed.

Elliott is already facing challenges in securing a regular starting position under Slot, and Wirtz’s arrival would likely complicate his situation further, given that they occupy similar roles.

Securing Wirtz would represent a significant statement for the Reds, demonstrating their commitment to supporting Slot with the necessary signings to elevate the team to the next level.
