Florian Wirtz to Liverpool gets major boost as David Ornstein reveals negotiation update
Liverpool are already up and running in the summer transfer window with the signing of Jeremie Frimpong and they could soon follow it up with Florian Wirtz.
TBR Football recently confirmed that Liverpool have learned they will have to set a British transfer record to sign Wirtz.
Liverpool bid around £110million to sign Wirtz, their priority target this summer – but Bayer Leverkusen want more.
David Ornstein has now shared the latest on the state of play involving Liverpool and Wirtz, complete with a message for the Anfield faithful.
David Ornstein says Florian Wirtz talks now centred around the finer details
David Ornstein, speaking on the latest episode of The Athletic FC Podcast, said things are going in the right direction for Liverpool and Florian Wirtz.
As things stand, Liverpool and Leverkusen are discussing the make-up of the deal, such as add-ons and bonuses.
Ornstein is also optimistic that the deal will get over the line as he corroborated that Liverpool would likely be breaking the British transfer record.
“Where things are now is that this is progressing in the right direction,” began Ornstein.
“The talks are ongoing, I think they’re now onto the stage of potential add-ons, the make-up of the deal, the bonuses and how they would be achieved.
“So, it’s clearly at an advanced stage, but from what I hear it’s not quite at the finish line yet. There is more work to be done.
But for Liverpool and their supporters, there’s reason to be optimistic. I do think they’re going to get this deal done.
“Not only because they’re pushing so hard in the club-to-club negotiations but also the desire of the player. He has eyes only for Liverpool.
Ornstein concluded: “I do feel we’re getting towards a conclusion, and every indication is that Florian Wirtz is going to become a Liverpool player.”
In addition, Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez is interested in joining Liverpool this summer.

Steven Gerrard delivers Florian Wirtz verdict
Steven Gerrard is one of Liverpool’s greatest players of all time, and he certainly knows a great deal about playing in midfield.
Gerrard recently shared his verdict on Wirtz after being asked if there are any players he’d like to see join Liverpool this summer.
“Well, there’s rumours, obviously, of Florian Wirtz,” Gerrard said on TNT Sports.
“A big talent. Done fantastic for Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen, there’s talk that there is going to be a really big signing.
“A huge talent, huge future in front of him. So Liverpool’s the place for him, let’s hope we can make it happen.”
Quite the seal of approval from the Anfield icon.
