Liverpool are closely monitoring three Bayer Leverkusen players for potential transfers, including Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Exequiel Palacios. Sources familiar with the situation have revealed to *CaughtOffside* that Liverpool’s interest in Wirtz is growing. Despite also attracting attention from major European clubs like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, the young talent is reportedly open to a move to the Premier League.

Wirtz, who is just 21 years old, is expected to command a transfer fee of around €100 million if he leaves Leverkusen. However, it’s more likely that this move would happen in the summer of 2025, rather than this year, as Leverkusen had firmly declared that he was not for sale in 2024. By 2025, the situation may change, and Leverkusen is expected to be more realistic about retaining Wirtz, especially with so much interest from top European clubs. Liverpool, one of those interested clubs, is thought to be willing to meet the €100 million asking price to secure the talented German international.

Liverpool’s interest in Wirtz is partly due to the possibility of needing a new marquee signing in attack. This could be driven by uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future, as his contract is nearing its end. However, Wirtz is not the only Leverkusen player catching Liverpool’s eye.

Dutch right-back Jeremie Frimpong is also highly regarded by Liverpool. His release clause, set at a relatively low £34 million, has drawn attention from numerous clubs, including Manchester United. If Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves Liverpool—he’s currently in the final year of his contract—Frimpong could be an ideal replacement. Real Madrid is also said to be keeping tabs on Alexander-Arnold’s situation, which could push Liverpool to secure Frimpong’s services. At Manchester United, the need for a right-back is also pressing after the sale of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, with some doubts about Diogo Dalot’s consistency. However, Liverpool might be the more attractive option for Frimpong if he’s aiming to advance his career further, given United’s current transitional phase under Erik ten Hag.

Lastly, Exequiel Palacios is another Leverkusen player on Liverpool’s radar, though they are not the only Premier League club interested. Both Chelsea and Arsenal are also reportedly considering a move for the Argentine midfielder. Leverkusen’s asking price for Palacios is around €60 million, which could be a stumbling block for some clubs. Additionally, there are concerns about Palacios’ injury record, which may influence whether interested teams pursue him further.

In summary, Liverpool is actively exploring several options to bolster their squad, with a particular focus on Wirtz, Frimpong, and Palacios. The potential arrival of these players would depend on factors such as transfer fees, competition from other top European clubs, and the evolving contract situations of Liverpool’s current stars.
