It’s been a busy week for Liverpool, on and off the pitch.
The Reds drew with Arsenal last weekend as their title celebration procession continues, while, in the transfer market, the Reds are active.
Jeremie Frimpong is close to signing for Liverpool, while Florian Wirtz has been linked to the Reds too.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano has been discussing Wirtz’s future as he gears up to make his final decision.
Liverpool and Manchester City are both in this race, but according to Romano, it’s Bayern Munich who are convinced they will ultimately end up signing Wirtz come the end of the season.

Bayern Munich convinced they will sign Florian Wirtz
Romano shared what he knows about Wirtz’s situation.
According to the journalist, Wirtz’s situation remains undecided, but Bayern Munich are convinced they will end up signing the midfielder.
“But again, it is up to Florian Wirtz, Bayern are convinced they will be his final choice, let’s see what happens with the player, now it’s going to be a big battle, but I can guarantee today, still nothing decided,” Romano said.
Bayern Munich’s record signings
Bayern Munich believe they’re going to sign Wirtz, but in order to do so, they’ll have to break their transfer record.
Despite being one of the biggest clubs in the world, Bayern Munich aren’t massive spenders, and they’ve never come close to matching the sort of money it would take to sign Wirtz.
Wirtz has been valued at £126m, and that would represent a record fee for the Bavarians.
| Bayern Munich’s record signings | Fee |
| Harry Kane | £86m |
| Lucas Hernandez | £70m |
| Matthijs De Ligt | £60m |
| Leroy Sane | £55m |
| Michael Olise | £51m |
Of course, Bayern Munich are likely to have the financial capabilities to do this deal, but whether or not they’re willing to push the boat out in this fashion remains to be seen.
Bayern Munich are confident of doing this deal, but the financial might of the Premier League may well prove to be too much for Bayer Leverkusen and Wirtz to resist this summer.
