Liverpool are gearing up for a busy summer transfer window, with the club confident of signing two Bayer Leverkusen stars, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong.

Tom Werner, Liverpool's chairman, confirmed that talks are already underway for a record-breaking transfer of Wirtz, who has reportedly turned down Bayern Munich and seen Manchester City withdraw from the race.

"The Liverpool chair, Tom Werner, has confirmed the club’s busy summer has already begun with the Premier League champions in talks over the record transfer of Florian Wirtz and close to wrapping up a deal for his teammate Jeremie Frimpong."

Wirtz's transfer would surpass Liverpool's previous record set in 2022, but the club aims to structure the deal with Leverkusen to include a lower initial fee supplemented by achievable add-ons.

"That would comfortably eclipse Liverpool’s record transfer, in 2022, but the club hope to structure a deal with Leverkusen accepting a lower initial fee plus achievable add-ons."

Frimpong, who has a £30 million release clause, is also close to joining Liverpool, with the club hopeful of securing both players early in the window.

"The club are in a position to spend heavily and there is hope inside Anfield that Wirtz and Frimpong, who has a £30m release clause, could be secured early in the summer transfer window."

Liverpool's aggressive pursuit of these signings highlights their ambition to strengthen the squad and maintain their competitive edge in the Premier League and Europe.

The club's strategic approach to these transfers, focusing on structured payments and early deals, reflects a well-planned summer campaign.

As the transfer window progresses, Liverpool fans will be watching closely for official confirmations of these high-profile acquisitions.
