Liverpool are reportedly weighing up the sale of three players to help finance the high-profile signing of Florian Wirtz and a top-rated PSG talent.
Heading into the 2025/26 Premier League season as reigning champions, Arne Slot appears keen to strengthen his squad further ahead of his second year in charge at Anfield.
The Reds have been strongly linked with Bayer Leverkusen and Germany midfielder Florian Wirtz.
On June 11, journalist Fabrizio Romano shared an update on X, stating:
“EXCLUSIVE: Florian Wirtz to Liverpool, HERE WE GO! A verbal agreement has been reached with Bayer Leverkusen for a package worth up to €150 million (£127.4 million), including add-ons. The player agreed personal terms two weeks ago, and the transfer is now close to completion, with a medical and contract signing imminent.”
The reported €150 million fee would mark a new record for both Liverpool and British football.
To make room financially, Liverpool could reportedly part ways with Darwin Núñez, Diogo Jota, and Luis Díaz, according to The Sun.
Additionally, Liverpool are said to be preparing a bid of around £100 million for PSG winger Bradley Barcola. The 22-year-old, who joined PSG from Lyon for £38 million in 2023, was part of their treble-winning side in 2024/25 but often came off the bench. With Khvicha Kvaratskhelia potentially ahead of him in the pecking order under Luis Enrique, Barcola’s future in Paris is uncertain.
Liverpool may also face competition from Bayern Munich for Barcola’s signature.
Elsewhere, the Reds remain linked with Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, though the Magpies’ £150 million asking price could be a sticking point. Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is another name on Liverpool’s radar. His teammate, Justin Kluivert, recently hinted at a move to Anfield while on international duty with the Netherlands, saying: “He’ll probably go there, I hope so for him.” Bournemouth are said to value Kerkez at £40–45 million.
Liverpool have already secured the signing of right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen for £29.6 million.
