Liverpool has come up with an all-time offer to recruit Leverkusen ace Florian Birz.
Local media including Sky Sports in the U.K. reported on Monday (local time) that Liverpool delivered a total of 113 million pounds (or around 19 billion won) to Leverkusen to recruit Virts. The basic transfer fee is 100 million pounds, plus 13 million pounds as an option bonus. However, the amount is somewhat lower than Leverkusen's demand of 126 million pounds (or around 216 billion won or 150 million euros). Negotiations are expected to continue.
Birtz is said to prefer to go to Liverpool although he is attracting attention from big European clubs such as Manchester City and Bayern Munich. If Liverpool's offer is made, it will be the highest transfer fee in the club's history. The previous high was £85 million when Darwin Núñez was brought in from Benfica in 2022. Meanwhile, the offer is expected to shake up the English transfer market once again, with just £2 million less than the recruitment of Moises Caicedo (Chelsea, £115 million), the highest transfer fee in English football history.
Birtz led Leverkusen to the runner-up finish in the Bundesliga last season, scoring 10 goals and 12 assists. Leverkusen, who had achieved a double (League + Cup) in the previous season, competed for the top spot once again thanks to Birtz's steady performance. He is also a mainstay in the German national team, and he also scored in the Nations League semi-final against Portugal last Wednesday. 바카라
Liverpool recently hired Jeremy Frimpong from the Netherlands, who was Birz's Leverkusen colleague, for £29.5 million. He has chosen Birz as the first mega deal under Arne Slot's leadership. Liverpool is also seeking to recruit the Hungarian national left-back for Bournemouth. The player himself is showing a positive attitude toward the transfer, and it is said that there are no obstacles to negotiations on personal terms. Liverpool is continuing its wide-ranging move.
