Fabrizio Romano CONFIRMS third Liverpool transfer deal with Bayer Leverkusen | OneFootball

Bayer Leverkusen have already solved TWO big issues for Liverpool this summer. Jeremie Frimpong was signed after Richard Hughes triggered his £30m release clause.

Not only will the Dutch international replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, but he will provide added attacking thrust down the right.

But that’s barely even the start of it.

Liverpool are also spending a British-record sum on Florian Wirtz, who moves to Anfield from the BayArena for an astonishing £116m.

Very soon the Reds will have sent over £130m Leverkusen’s way this summer - with more to come in the form of Wirtz’s add-ons.

Liverpool need to claw back money in sales

Although Liverpool have kept their powder dry in recent transfer windows - not to mention an uplift in cash due to new sponsorship opportunities, prize money and a kit deal with Adidas - there is still a need to balance the books.

FSG likes to operate on a one-in, one-out basis and the Reds will need to ensure sales in the next few weeks. If Liverpool can’t get decent outgoing business done, it could put a cap on summer spending.

That’s why the latest reports of an imminent deal for a Liverpool player to JOIN Leverkusen will be very welcome on Merseyside.
