Liverpool makes a huge offer of KRW 19 billion to recruit Birz!

Local media such as Sky Sports reported on the 7th (local time) that Liverpool delivered a total of £113 million (about KRW194 billion) offer to Leverkusen to recruit Birz. The basic transfer fee is £100 million, plus an option bonus of £13 million. However, this is slightly below Leverkusen's demand of 126 million pounds (about 216 billion won, 150 million euros). Negotiations are expected to continue.
Birtz is attracting attention from European big clubs such as Manchester City and Bayern Munich, but it is known that he prefers to go to Liverpool. If Liverpool's offer is made, it will be the highest transfer fee in club history. The previous high was 85 million pounds when Darwin Núñez was brought in from Benfica in 2022. The offer, meanwhile, is only £2 million less than Moises Caicedo (Chelsea, £115 million), the highest transfer fee in English football's history, and is likely to rattle the English transfer market once again.

Liverpool also recently hired Jeremy Frimpong from the Netherlands, a former Leverkusen teammate of Birz, for £29.5 million. Following this, Birtz was selected as the first mega deal under the Arne Slot supervisory system. Liverpool is also seeking to recruit left-back Miloš Kerquez for Bournemouth's Hungarian national team. The player himself is showing a positive attitude toward the transfer, and it is said that there are no obstacles to negotiating personal terms. Liverpool's wide-ranging move continues.
