Liverpool are setting their sights on Bayer Leverkusen's dynamic duo Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong as they prepare for a major squad revamp this summer. The Reds, now under the guidance of new manager Arne Slot, are keen to bolster their attacking and defensive options ahead of the new Premier League season.
Wirtz: The Creative Spark
Florian Wirtz, the 21-year-old German playmaker, has been turning heads across Europe with his dazzling performances for Leverkusen. With 18 goals and 20 assists last season, Wirtz played a pivotal role in his club's historic Bundesliga triumph. Liverpool see him as the perfect replacement for the departing Thiago Alcantara.
Frimpong: Speed and Versatility
Dutch right-back Jeremie Frimpong has emerged as another key target for the Merseyside club. The 23-year-old's blistering pace and attacking prowess (14 goals, 12 assists last season) would add a new dimension to Liverpool's flank play. His €40m release clause makes him an attractive proposition.
Summer of Change at Anfield
With Jurgen Klopp's era now over, Liverpool are entering a new chapter under Slot. The Dutch manager is reportedly being backed with significant transfer funds to reshape the squad. The potential double swoop for Wirtz and Frimpong signals Liverpool's intent to challenge Manchester City and Arsenal for domestic supremacy.
However, the Reds face stiff competition for both players, with Bayern Munich and several Premier League rivals also monitoring the Leverkusen stars. The coming weeks will prove crucial as Liverpool look to secure their top targets early in the transfer window.
