Sky Sports: Liverpool wants to sign Wilz, but he needs to make sure of leaving Germany before the offer

May 20 Sky Sports reported that Liverpool intends to sign Leverkusen star Wilz, but before making a offer, they need to get guarantees that Wilz himself is willing to leave Germany.

It is reported that the current situation is that the outside world expects that the attacking midfielder will either stay in Leverkusen or transfer to Bayern. Leverkusen priced 150 million euros (£126 million) for the 22-year-old Werz, so the cost of signing him would be far better than the team record set by Liverpool when he signed Van Dijk from Southampton in 2017 for £75 million.

Although Werz is more likely to stay in Germany, Liverpool has not yet given up on his attempt to bring him in this summer.

Meanwhile, Sky Sports revealed that Manchester City has cooled down interest in Wilz and they are not expected to continue to advance preliminary negotiations with the players and their teams, largely due to the high costs of the deal, including transfer fees and long-term contract salary, which could be as high as £250 million (300 million euros).
