Intercepted Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern! Pay 150 million euros, famous reporter: Liverpool is 60% sure to sign Wiltz

Recently, Harman said in an interview with the media that he was sure that Real Madrid had substantial contact with Werz and believed that the probability of Werz joining Liverpool was only 3%. "I can't imagine that they would pay more than 100 million pounds of transfer fees, plus an annual salary of 20 million euros."

Later on May 21, reporter Bence Bocsak said that Liverpool may get Werz 60%. Liverpool has no problem with 150 million euros in transfer fees, but Bayern cannot afford this amount.

Bayern's pursuit of Werz began in the 2024 Champions League semi-finals, and its technical team praised the creativity of the midfield genius. However, despite Bayern reaching a personal agreement with the player's family and trying to enhance the appeal through the "Legendary Escort Program" (such as Neuer and Mueller accompanying the honor room), the club's financial hesitation has become a fatal shortcoming. According to Biography, Bayern's initial offer was only 100 million euros, far lower than Leverkusen's 150 million euros price, and senior executives hope to postpone the transaction until 2026 to ease financial pressure. This strategy was toughly hit back by pharmaceutical companies, who prefer to accept overseas quotes to avoid the risk of asset depreciation.

In addition, Bayern's cleaning plan to balance the Fiscal Fairness Act (such as players such as Gretzka and Kim Min-jae for sale) has progressed slowly, further weakening its bidding ability. Even though Werz's father visited Munich three times, Bayern's internal differences on whether to pay sky-high transfer fees have gradually lost the initiative in this "local defense war". In sharp contrast to Bayern's hesitation, Liverpool showed a determination to go all out. Fenway CEO Edwards flew to the U.S. headquarters in an emergency, convinced his boss John Henry to approve a 150 million euro budget and emphasized the long-term value of Werz as the "No. 10 Dream". The move was confirmed by famous reporter Romano, who pointed out that Liverpool's financial resources were no longer an obstacle, and that Wilz was "very interested" in the tactical plan of Klopp's successor Slott.

Another major advantage of Liverpool lies in the integration of business resources. As a co-sponsor, Adidas is actively promoting Wilz to join the Reds in order to achieve brand value-added through its exposure in the Premier League. This "sponsor + club" linkage model, which almost helped Liverpool intercept Real Madrid in Mbappe's transfer, has now become a key variable once again. In addition, the senior trust and sufficient budget obtained by Slott after leading the team to win the championship further strengthened Liverpool's competitiveness.

If Liverpool successfully signs Wilz for 150 million euros, it will not only break the team's history of transfer fees, but also mark a breakthrough in Premier League capital's monopoly on Bundesliga talents. For Liverpool, this deal is both the core puzzle of post-Klopp reconstruction and a declaration to launch an impact on the Champions League throne.
