'Final detail': Fabrizio Romano drops MASSIVE Florian Wirtz update | OneFootball

Fabrizio Romano has dropped a mega update on Liverpool's Florian Wirtz pursuit. The Reds are pushing hard.

Liverpool are hoping to seal a deal for Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. The German playmaker has chosen the Reds as his next destination, surprising everyone.

Bayern Munich were the overwhelming favourites to sign Wirtz. They do, after all, appear to have first option on every major German talent.

Then Manchester City entered the race, hoping to secure a proper replacement for Kevin De Bruyne. Their financial might provided real competition to Bayern and it was thought they had a real chance at Wirtz.

Then, suddenly, Liverpool came out of nowhere to have a place in the race. Reports that Wirtz had actually met with the Reds shocked everyone - as did City quickly pulling out of the race.

From there, Liverpool gained momentum and before you knew it, Bayern were out of the race, too. Wirtz had chosen a move to Anfield.

Things have been relatively quiet since then as Liverpool negotiated with Leverkusen. Finally, though, it appears we've had a solid breakthrough.

Fabrizio Romano on Florian Wirtz deal

Liverpool have now made a bigger offer for Wirtz and it appears to have pushed things towards an agreement. That's the line from Fabrizio Romano and several others on Friday.

An offer of around €130m has gone in, which includes add-ons. Leverkusen now need to decide how they want that amount paid.

And according to Romano, that's really the 'final detail'. This one is very, very close.

"The structure of the add-ons is the final detail being negotiated between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz," he wrote on Twitter.
