The Bundesliga Club had assumed that it demanded 126 million GBP what would smash the British transfer record.

This is currently held by Chelsea, who paid around £ 115 million for Moises Caicedo in 2023.

The Reds recently started the 109 millions of pounding offer to bring the Bayer Leverkusen playmaker to ANFELD.

Personal conditions have already been agreed between the two parties, with the 22-year-old only looking at a move to Merseyside.

The preference of the German international has led to Manchester City and Bayern Munich accepted a defeat in their persecution, whereby only Liverpool was used at the table to secure his services.

While Leverkusen is ready to sell Wirtz early in the window, they would be open so that two Liverpool stars can be recorded in a future offer.

And the two identified, the midfielder Harvey Elliott and the central defender Jarell Quansah attack.

Both men spent their career in Liverpool so far that Elliott in the 2024/25 season only 18 Premier League appearances for the champions-only twice in the leader.

As for the Academy graduate Quansah, he only gathered 13 excursions in the leader, with four of his appearances in Arne Slots Start-Xi.

The chief football correspondent from Talksport, Alex Crook, offered an update to Liverpools on Monday morning to hire Wirtz at the sports breaker show.

He said: “Liverpool made her first offer, we understand more than 109 million GBP.

“It is not a British record fee according to which Leverkusen asked.

“When the Bayern Munich were at the negotiating table, the price was 126 million GBP.

“The interesting element here is the potential of Liverpool players who go in the opposite direction.

“Bayer Leverkusen are big fans of Harvey Elliott, especially, a player who would sell Liverpool at the right price this summer.

“The other man who could move in the opposite direction is Jarell Quansah.

Brentford has completed an 18 million pound deal to sign it as a replacement for the departing Mark Flekken, which is on the way to Leverkusen.

This was very satisfied with a club with Ringmahon Rangers, which entered a sales fee that may have a value of around £ 2 million worth £ 2.

And club secretary Sean Fitzgerald said exclusively to Talksport.com: “There are money everywhere. There are numbers that are thrown out. Jesus Christ, we buy all types.

“Nobody knows what we still get because we still don’t know the deal between Liverpool and Brentford. We won’t know that for a while. We are now least of Liverpools because they are still trying to sign players.

“If it happens when it comes, we have as massive facilities as it is. We have great facilities here, but our next plan will be an astro-pitch in full size.

“After that, the money will only be put into the bank, and it will be there for the club for the next 100 years.
