️ James Pearce has weighed in on the Florian Wirtz transfer saga—and it’s sounding VERY promising for Liverpool fans.
According to Pearce, Liverpool recently submitted a second bid worth £109 million for Wirtz. Although Bayer Leverkusen hasn’t accepted it yet, negotiations are very much alive, and there’s a growing belief on both sides that a deal will be struck soon.
“What’s helped Liverpool massively,” Pearce said on The Athletic’s Walk On podcast, “is that Wirtz himself has made it clear he wants to join Liverpool. There was a time when everyone assumed he’d end up at Bayern Munich.”
Instead, Liverpool swooped in with an irresistible pitch, and it’s clear they’ve done a brilliant job convincing Wirtz** that Anfield is where his future belongs.
With 31 goal contributions last season and two consecutive Bundesliga Player of the Season awards, Wirtz isn’t just a signing—he’s a statement.
If Liverpool pull this off, especially after lifting the Premier League title under Arne Slot’s debut season, it’ll show the football world that the Reds are here to dominate. And with Jeremie Frimpong already confirmed, the pieces are falling into place for a new era at Anfield.
