Liverpool willing to include players in THIRD attempt for Bayer Leverkusen star Wirtz

Kicker says Liverpool had an original offer of €100m plus €20m in bonuses rejected by Bayer before following up with a bid of €120m clean, but again it was rejected.

Liverpool remain determined to prise Wirtz away from Bayer and a multi-player swap is being discussed to make up the short fall with Bayer insisting the Germany international won't leave for less than €150m.

Harvey Elliott and Jarrell Quansah are two players Liverpool are prepared to put on the table in part exchange.

Leverkusen's managing director Simon Rolfes has said of Wirtz's future: “It’s currently an open subject with Florian. There is concrete interest from Liverpool, but there’s no more to say right now. Florian is our player.”
