Liverpool has named 100m Bundesliga star as a replacement to Trent Alexander-Arnold after he announced he will be leaving in January to join Spanish giants ๐จ This has come out of nowhere! ๐ฑ
Liverpool is said to be closely watching three Bayer Leverkusen players for potential transfers: Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Exequiel Palacios.
According to sources, Liverpoolโs interest in Wirtz is intensifying. The young talent is reportedly open to a move to the Premier League, though Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also showing interest.
Wirtz could command a transfer fee of around โฌ100 million, with a move likely to happen in the summer of 2025, as Leverkusen will likely face competition from major European clubs.
Frimpong is another player Liverpool is considering, especially with a ยฃ34 million release clause making him a viable option. He could be targeted if Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is nearing the end of his contract, leaves. However, Manchester United is also interested in the Dutch right-back.
Palacios has also caught Liverpoolโs attention, but his โฌ60 million price and recent injury record may be hurdles. Chelsea and Arsenal are also eyeing the midfielder.
