Liverpool are on the verge of pulling off one of the most stunning transfer deals of recent years, with a £70 million-rated star set to arrive at Anfield on a free transfer. In a move that has taken Premier League fans by surprise, the Reds are set to outmanoeuvre several top European clubs to land the in-demand talent without paying a fee. Here’s everything we know about the jaw-dropping transfer twist.
The Merseyside giants have not stood still since winning the Premier League last season, and Florian Wirtz’s record-breaking signing is the mark of their ambition this summer.
They have also signed Jeremie Frimpong and are close to finalising Milos Kerkez’s arrival from Bournemouth for a deal worth £40m in the ongoing window.
Liverpool are working on a deal to sign one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League on a free transfer as they push to set up a shocking deal.
Can you name the team Liverpool signed these players from?
Liverpool could end up signing Marc Guehi on a free transfer
Liverpool are interested in Marc Guehi, and the Crystal Palace defender would prefer a move to Anfield over Newcastle and Tottenham.
However, according to the Guardian, the centre-back is ready to run down his contract at Selhurst Park next season and leave on a free transfer next year.
The England defender does not want to get rushed into making a decision and is aware of the interest from Liverpool.
However, he wants a guarantee of being a starter as he wants to play a lot of football next season, ahead of the 2026 World Cup next year.
Liverpool are not in a position to offer those guarantees, and there is now a real chance that the Reds will wait to sign him on a free transfer at the end of next season.
