Liverpool have made a bold move in the transfer market to leave one of Europe’s elite panicking and scrambling for answers ahead of the window. Desperate measures are being taken behind the scenes to thwart the Reds’ move for a top midfielder.
Sporting director Richard Hughes has already shown that last summer’s indecisive moves are a far cry from what he is going to do in the upcoming transfer window.
A deal is in place for Jeremie Frimpong to join Liverpool even before the season ends, and the club are moving on several other deals to secure the signatures of a few more players.
However, Liverpool’s pursuit of Florian Wirtz has caught everyone off guard, and now Bayern Munich are struggling for answers as they push to avoid losing out on their number 1 target for the summer.

Bayern Munich are in complete panic mode as they fear losing out on Florian Wirtz

Bayern Munich have an agreement over a contract with Wirtz, and until recently, were confident that the midfielder would move to the Allianz Arena this summer.
However, Liverpool have come out of nowhere to take the lead in the race to sign the midfielder, and the player is now keen to join the Reds before he links up with the Germany squad.
There are suggestions that Bayern Munich have internally accepted that Wirtz will end up on Merseyside, but the club have not given up on signing him.
According to Bayern Insider, club director Uli Hoeness will meet Wirtz and his family soon to turn the tide towards Bayern Munich again this summer.
They still believe that they can convince the player to move to the Allianz Arena despite the strong interest from Liverpool.
However, Bayern Munich have been left shocked by Liverpool’s willingness to pay anything Leverkusen want for the midfielder this summer.
