According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Liverpool have scheduled a medical for Florian Wirtz this week, and it remains to be seen whether they can wrap up the formalities of the deal quickly. The German international had 31 goal contributions in the 2024/25 season, and he is likely to be an exceptional acquisition for Liverpool.
He could transform them in the final third by adding goals and creativity to the side. Liverpool have been overly reliant on Mohamed Salah, and they needed more support in the attack. The 22-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and he could develop into one of the best players involved football with the right guidance. Liverpool are expected to pay a club record fee for him.
It will be interesting to see if the 22-year-old can hit the ground running in the Premier League and establish himself as a player for Liverpool. The Reds managed to win the league title last season, and they will look to win major trophies next year as well. Signing the best young players in world football will certainly help them do so.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are closing in on the capture of the Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez as well. The Hungarian international has done quite well for the Cherries, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for Liverpool. They need to bring in a quality alternative to Andrew Robertson.
The Scottish International has been a club legend, but he needs to be replaced this summer. Robertson’s performances have regressed in the last 18 months, and he is no longer the player he used Liverpool needed to bring in a younger alternative who can perform at a higher level.
Kerkez has shown his ability with Bournemouth, and the opportunity to join Liverpool will be quite exciting for him. The 21-year-old is close to completing his move to the Premier League champions. It will be an excellent opportunity for him to showcase his qualities at a high level. It remains to be seen whether both players can succeed at their new club.
