Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer announced that his club will not sign Florian Wirtz despite almost reaching an agreement with him on all the details.
Until Friday, Wirtz was on the verge of joining Bayern Munich after rejecting Manchester City and informing the English club of his desire to wear the Bavarian jersey.
However, in the past few hours, Liverpool’s management contacted the Bayer Leverkusen star, who met with Arne Slot to discuss his tactical ideas.
Hainer confirmed on Saturday that Wirtz had informed Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, that he would not join Bayern and that he had already decided to join Liverpool.
According to Fabrizio Romano, negotiations have begun between Liverpool and Leverkusen to complete the deal as soon as possible.
In principle, the deal is not expected to cost Liverpool less than €100 million, if not as much as €150 million, making it the most expensive transfer in Premier League history.
