Leverkusen Rejects Liverpool's \u00a3100M+ Wirtz Bid: Transfer Saga Continues

Leverkusen Rejects Liverpool's Second Bid for Wirtz; Demands \u00a3126 Million Leverkusen, Germany - In a significant development in the ongoing transfer saga, Bayer Leverkusen has firmly rejected Liverpool's second bid for their star midfielder, Florian Wirtz. The news broke earlier today, sending ripples through the football world. The initial offer from Liverpool, reportedly \u00a384 million plus substantial bonuses, was deemed insufficient by Leverkusen. This second, improved offer, while undisclosed in exact figures by the video, also failed to meet Leverkusen's demands. Adding weight to Leverkusen's stance, CEO Fernando Carro explicitly stated, "We will not release Wirtz unless we receive a transfer fee of at least \u00a3126 million." This statement underscores Leverkusen's determination to retain their prized asset unless a truly substantial offer is made. The video accompanying this news report offers visual confirmation of Wirtz's continued training with Leverkusen, suggesting he remains focused on his current club despite the intense transfer speculation. The ongoing negotiations are expected to continue, with the possibility of a third, even higher offer from Liverpool. The outcome of this high-stakes transfer will undoubtedly shape the landscape of the upcoming football season.
