Liverpool Transfer News as Florian Wirtz Medical Planned as Agent Confirms Contract
Liverpool are on the verge of finalising a move for Florian Wirtz, continuing a hectic summer in the transfer market as Arne Slot prepares for his second season at the helm.
Following their Premier League triumph under Slot’s leadership in his debut season, Liverpool are expected to be active during the current transfer window. The club have capitalised on the early opening of the summer market to push through several transfers.
The Reds have one final day to conduct business before the market temporarily pauses and resumes on June 16. Securing the signature of Florian Wirtz remains a top priority, with discussions ongoing with Bayer Leverkusen to conclude a potential record-breaking agreement.
Wirtz’s former teammate, Jeremie Frimpong, has already joined the Reds, along with goalkeeper Armin Pecsi. Giorgi Mamardashvili is also set to link up with the squad after Liverpool reached an agreement for the Georgian international last summer.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has already completed a move to Real Madrid, and he may not be the only player to depart. The futures of Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott, and Darwin Nunez remain uncertain amid growing speculation.

Florian Wirtz Medical
Florian Wirtz is expected to undergo a medical at Liverpool in the coming days as progress continues towards finalising an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen. According to Sky Sports, negotiations between the two clubs are nearing completion, and the transfer could be concluded swiftly.
A full agreement is anticipated within a week, with Wirtz reportedly persuaded by Liverpool’s project. The two clubs are now working out the finer details of the deal. Both parties were likely relieved to see the midfielder come through Germany’s recent Nations League fixtures without injury, having featured in both matches.
Liverpool are preparing to submit a fourth and final offer valued at approximately £118 million to Leverkusen. The Bundesliga side have been holding out for a fee of £126.4 million since talks began, but a compromise is believed to be within reach.
Harvey Elliott’s Plan
Harvey Elliott has admitted he may have to contemplate leaving Liverpool in order to maximise his potential. The midfielder found it difficult to secure a regular place in Arne Slot’s starting line-up during the 2024/25 season and is seeking increased playing time to aid his development.
“It’s just a situation that me and the team have to have a conversation about because I’m coming into an age now where I’m 22, I’m going to be 23 next season,” he said.
“I don’t really want to be wasting years of my career because it’s a short career. You don’t know what’s going to happen.
“I need to reflect. I need to see if I’m content in doing what I’m doing and how can I improve as a player because that’s the most important thing.
“I just want to improve and be the best possible version of myself. If that’s to go somewhere else, then it’s a decision that I’m going to have to make and I just need to see what happens.
“Nothing makes me want to leave. I love the club, I love the fans, the team. I support them as well. But most importantly, it’s just about what’s best for my career.”
Agent Confirms Goalkeeper’s Contract
New Liverpool arrival Armin Pecsi is set to stay at Anfield for the upcoming season and has signed a five-year deal, according to his agent. The 20-year-old’s move came as a surprise, but Liverpool impressed with the most well-defined proposal for Matyas Esterhazy’s client.
“Armin will be at Liverpool next season,” he told M1. “This was one of the most important links in our decision.
“We chose Liverpool because they outlined a professional plan that we can identify with, and Armin is a very intelligent, patient and ambitious player.”
