Liverpool have reportedly submitted an improved offer to Bayer Leverkusen for their top summer transfer window target Florian Wirtz, as negotiations over a deal for the playmaker continue at pace. The Reds are so far reported to have three offers for the Germany international knocked back,

Romano outlined: ‘Liverpool first official bid for Florian Wirtz in excess of €100m package with add-ons has been received by Bayer Leverkusen. Club to club negotiations underway, restarting today to get the deal done very soon. Wirtz already told Bayer that he only wants Liverpool.’

Manchester City didn’t reject Florian Wirtz, he rejected them, and Pep Guardiola is to blame for the playmaker’s imminent move to Liverpool. Wirtz looks set to swap Bayer Leverkusen for Liverpool after the Reds made a bid in excess of €100m for the 22-year-old, who’s agreed to the move to Anfield.
