Liverpool are reportedly “confident” of striking a big-money deal for a “world-class” attacking player this summer, with a plan to bring him in alongside Florian Wirtz.
Liverpool closing in on stunning Wirtz signing
The Reds are expected to embark upon one of their busiest summer transfer windows in years, and there has now been a huge development regarding their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen star Wirtz.
While Bayern Munich have been the favourites to sign the German for a while, various reports on Friday claimed that the 22-year-old has now decided to join Liverpool instead, leading to plenty of joy among the fanbase.
It is reported that Wirtz’s father flew to England and was given a presentation by Michael Edwards and those within the recruitment team, persuading him that his son would be better off joining the Reds than Bayern this summer – or staying at his current club, for that matter.
If Liverpool could get a deal over the line, it could genuinely prove to be one of their most significant pieces of business in many years, with the Leverkusen ace among the world’s leading attacking players – and one with most of his career ahead of him.
Liverpool “confident” of another incredible addition
According to a promising update from GiveMeSport, Liverpool and Edwards are now “confident” of also completing the signing of Newcastle United superstar Alexander Isak this summer by convincing him to move to Anfield.
The Reds believe they can turn the 25-year-old’s head, and also have the “financial clout” to strike a deal ahead of next season amid a mooted £120m price tag, as Edwards and sporting director Richard Hughes look to work their magic and sign him alongside Wirtz.
In many ways, Isak is the perfect option to come in and be Liverpool’s new No.9, replacing the misfiring Darwin Nunez and making the Reds a more potent attacking force.
The Swede has been one of the best players in the Premier League this season, scoring 23 goals in the competition, and he has also been described as “world-class” by none other than Magpies legend Alan Shearer:
“I think there’s three world-class forwards in the Premier League now. Haaland being one, Salah being another. I think Isak has played himself into that company now.”

Liverpool are planning to replace Darwin Nunez with a new centre-forward this summer.
It remains to be seen just how possible it is for Liverpool to afford both Isak and Wirtz, but if they did manage to sign the pair, it would be remarkable, taking Arne Slot’s side up plenty of gears and surely making them favourites to retain their league crown when next season gets underway.
