“Drawing nearer – Fabrizio Romano says it’s only a matter of time before Liverpool pull off a stunning move.”

Liverpool are edging closer to reaching a deal with Bayer Leverkusen for the signing of Florian Wirtz, according to Fabrizio Romano.

In a post on his official X account, Romano indicated that Liverpool believe it’s only a matter of time before the transfer is finalized, which would make Wirtz one of the standout acquisitions of the summer window. The German playmaker is widely regarded as a world-class talent with a bright future, having already showcased his abilities at the top level with Leverkusen.

Romano reports that Wirtz has told Leverkusen of his desire to join Liverpool, further accelerating the potential move. Despite recently winning the Premier League, Liverpool appear determined to bolster their squad even further under new head coach Arne Slot.

What would Wirtz add to Liverpool?
Wirtz has been in outstanding form this season, amassing 22 goals and 16 assists across all competitions for both club and country. His ability to influence the game in the attacking third would make him a valuable asset for Liverpool.

While Mohamed Salah remains the first-choice option on the right wing, Wirtz could give Slot flexibility with his capacity to play in central roles or on the left. Though primarily deployed as an attacking midfielder at Leverkusen, his versatility allows him to operate effectively in various positions.

Frimpong also nearing Liverpool switch
Liverpool are reportedly close to completing another major deal with Leverkusen, as Jeremie Frimpong’s move to Anfield appears to be on the verge of being confirmed.

Romano has suggested that the Frimpong deal could be announced very soon, raising the prospect of the dynamic duo from Leverkusen reuniting at Liverpool.

With both signings looming, questions may also arise about the future of Luis Diaz, as Wirtz’s arrival could impact the Colombian winger’s role in the squad.
