00:00Liverpool are intensifying their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wurtz, reportedly
00:07preparing a record-breaking bid of up to £100m for the 22-year-old attacking midfielder.
00:14The club's hierarchy recently convened in the United States to deliberate on this significant
00:19investment, aiming to outpace competitors Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in securing
00:25Wurtz's signature.
00:27Wurtz has emerged as one of Europe's most coveted talents following a stellar season
00:32under Xabi Alonso, contributing 18 goals and 20 assists across all competitions, making
00:38him a prime target for clubs seeking to bolster their midfield creativity.
00:43Liverpool's manager Arne Schlott has expressed admiration for Wurtz, highlighting his potential
00:49to elevate the team's performance.
00:51Schlott emphasised the club's ambition to compete at the highest level, stating that acquiring
00:57top-tier talent like Wurtz is essential for building a formidable squad.
01:01We knew, and we still know, how hard it is to win a game of football in this league, so
01:06that we were one of the teams that could win it.
01:08I think that was quite clear from maybe, I don't know, maybe even from pre-season onwards.
01:14But then you need to have consistency and that's difficult, but we had that.
01:19And that's the reason why we probably deserved to win it.
01:23If you have a margin like we have, I think it's fair to say that we deserved to win this
01:28league this season.
01:29The Reds' interest in Wurtz aligns with their broader strategy to reinforce the squad ahead
01:34of the upcoming season.
01:36With Jeremy Fringpong's arrival imminent to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to
01:41join Real Madrid on a free transfer.
01:43Liverpool are actively reshaping their line-up to maintain their competitive edge.
01:49As Liverpool prepare to lift the Premier League trophy after their final match against Crystal
01:55Palace, the club's focus is firmly on strengthening the squad for future challenges.
02:00Securing a player of Wurtz's calibre would not only signify a significant investment, but
02:06also reinforce Liverpool's commitment to sustain success on both domestic and European fronts.
