Liverpool have reached a verbal agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for the signing of highly sought-after midfielder Florian Wirtz in a deal that could reach €150 million (£126.9m) with add-ons, according to reports.
The Reds made a significant breakthrough in negotiations on Tuesday, with Wirtz reportedly choosing Anfield as his preferred destination over other interested clubs including Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
This transfer represents a major coup for Liverpool in the summer market, securing one of Europe's most talented young playmakers after intense competition from elite clubs.
Chelsea Set to Part Ways with Disasi
Meanwhile, Chelsea are reportedly looking to terminate defender Axel Disasi's contract following his loan spell at Aston Villa. The 27-year-old's time at Stamford Bridge appears to be coming to an end with both parties expected to "mutually terminate the player's contract."
Juventus have already made inquiries about Disasi's situation, potentially offering the French defender a new opportunity following his exit from the London club.
These developments come amid a busy transfer window for Premier League clubs, with several high-profile moves already taking shape ahead of the new season.
The Wirtz deal particularly signals Liverpool's intent to strengthen their squad significantly under their management, while Chelsea continues their policy of reshaping their roster by moving on players who don't feature in their long-term plans.
