Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, with the attacking midfielder set to join the Reds in a €150m transfer. This deal is expected to be one of the most significant signings of the summer window.
Wirtz has been linked with several top clubs, including Manchester United and Real Madrid, but Liverpool appear to have won out in their pursuit of his services. The 21-year-old has impressed for Leverkusen since making his debut at just 16 years old and has already scored 10 goals this season.
Meanwhile, AC Milan forward Rafael Leao is seeking a departure from his current club this summer. Bayern Munich have expressed interest in signing him, but no official offer has been made public yet. Leao’s agent is reportedly pushing for a move away from Milan after failing to agree on new terms with the club.
In another high-profile transfer saga, Al Hilal have agreed on personal terms with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. However, there is still one hurdle to clear: meeting his agent’s valuation of €75m before completing the transfer.
Turkish clubs Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are also vying for German winger Leroy Sané‘s services. Fenerbahce are prepared to offer him a net annual salary of €15m if he joins them as a free agent at the end of June. Galatasaray have made an offer worth between €10-12m for his services.
AC Milan centre-back Fikayo Tomori may be on his way out after intermediaries approached AC Milan ahead of Napoli’s reported interest in signing him from Serie A rivals Inter.
Newcastle United recently enquired about Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga last week, but no further information about their interest was disclosed publicly.
