Price Liverpool MUST pay for REVOLUTIONARY player revealed

The Arne Slot revolution continues at Liverpool.

With a scrappy 2-1 win over Wolves following a midweek 5-1 demolition job of West Ham in the League Cup, you’d be forgiven that thinking Slot already has everything he needs in his squad. With the promise that the rotation showed midweek and the starting XI’s return to form yesterday, it’s difficult to know where Liverpool would need to improve.

What will it cost?

But the links to German attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz just won’t go away. BILD’s Christian Falk is now reporting that Wirtz wants to leave his current Bayer Leverkusen team in 2025, and that Leverkusen have set an asking price of €150m.

Falk also reports that Liverpool will face competition from fellow European giants Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City. Bayern have a long history of poaching top-level talent from fellow German sides, whereas there is a real possibility that Wirtz could be lining up alongside Liverpool’s star right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold if Real Madrid were to secure his services.

Wirtz’s Bayer Leverkusen side had a difficult time on Saturday evening, running out a dogged 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich, whose 11-straight Bundesliga title streak they broke last season. Wirtz registered only two Key Passes and one dribble in the entire game, with Leverkusen occupying a tough defensive shape throughout the match. 

Wirtz could be seen scrapping with former-Crystal Palace star Michael Olise, who had multiple good chances to score throughout the game. Leverkusen took the lead on the 31st minute through midfielder Robert Anrich’s 20-yard arrowed strike, before being pegged back by a truly miraculous 30-yard volley from Bayern’s Aleksandar Pavolovic.

Xabi Alonso’s men currently sit third in the Bundesliga table, three points behind Bayern and one point behind Red Bull Leipzig. If they are going to be successful on a long-term basis, retaining the attacking midfielder’s services will be crucial to that.

Thomas Clark

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.

Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.

Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
