May 24th Liverpool is close to signing Wilz from Leverkusen, which may become the biggest transfer this summer. Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri was interviewed by Liverpool media Anfield Index and talked about the situation behind the deal.

reporter revealed: "Wilz decided to call Bayern and Kompany respectively to thank them for their interest in themselves and to express their tendency towards Liverpool. This move highlights the strong appeal that Liverpool has regained under the new management structure and new leadership system."

reporter said: "This is a decision made by Wilz himself. He hopes to leave and win something. It is the player himself who changed the direction of this transfer, not the club. Manchester City was also in the lead at one time. And the negotiations are going well, but according to reports, Wiltz is a little hesitant about this, which seems to have opened the door for Liverpool. "

reporters also talked about the role of Fenway CEO Edwards: "Edwards has done a lot of work in the sense of media, image and transfer to convince Fenway to reach this deal." Because Wiltz is not just a talented player, he is also a representative of a new generation of football idols, signing him marks a long-term strategy, a powerful combination of superb technology and business appeal. Edwards is believed to be in talks and plans to pay transfer fees in installments, reflecting Liverpool's financial strategy under modern management: bold, thoughtful.

The reporter also mentioned that Leverkusen never wanted to sell Wilz to his competitors, so they were very happy to reach the deal with Liverpool. Manchester City is limited by the salary cap, while Liverpool offers a brand new and exciting program led by a once-winning head coach and supported by data-driven.

Tavolieri added: "Transfers are never simple, it's important to understand that the negotiations between Leverkusen and Manchester City have gone to a pretty deep level. There is no doubt that Manchester City would have won the bid. When Wirtz went to Manchester City, Guardiola wasn't there. And when he went to Liverpool, Slot was there and there convinced him. When Liverpool was already finalizing the deal for Flynnon, they had already started talking about Wirtz."
