Liverpool have opened talks with Bayer Leverkusen for the potential British-record signing of Florian Wirtz. The Premier League champions have made a formal approach for a player valued at £125 million. That figure would better the current British record of £115 million Chelsea paid for Moisés Caicedo in 2023.

In recent weeks, Bayern Munich have been linked with the likes of Rafael Leao and Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma, but Athletic Club’s Nico Williams and Real Madrid’s Rodrygo arguably represent the most high-profile attacking options on the market this summer.

The young German attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz has made up his mind to join the Premier League club Liverpool. The Bayer Leverkusen star is looking to propel his career to new heights by switching to Anfield from the Bay Arena.
