Florian Birtz (22) As the transfer negotiations to Liverpool have been prolonged, many rumors have emerged. He himself explained the article that Birtz is demanding number 10 in Liverpool.카지노
"Who said no.10? I respect the players. Don't trust every article," Birz posted on his social media on Sunday. Florian Plattenberg of Germany's Sky Sports, one of the best transfer market experts, once wrote that Birz is asking for the number 10 that is worn by Alexis McAllister of Liverpool. Birz countered this head-on. With his transfer to Liverpool not yet officially announced, Birz immediately explained his rumors.
First of all, as negotiations on transfer fees between Liverpool and Leverkusen are not smooth, Birz's transfer seems to be progressing more slowly than expected. German media Kicker reported on the previous day, "Birz is eager to move to Liverpool, but there is still a big difference between Liverpool and Leverkusen." Leverkusen has already rejected Liverpool's transfer fee offer worth more than 100 million euros (about 157.1 billion won) twice. He added, "The minimum transfer fee set by Leverkusen is 150 million euros (about 235.7 billion won)."
Even at an early age, Birtz became one of the best attacking midfielders in the German Bundesliga. During the 2024-25 season, Birtz also scored 16 goals and had 15 assists in 45 matches including the Bundesliga, the German Football Association Pokal, and the UEFA Champions League. Big European clubs including Bayern Munich (Germany), Liverpool and Manchester City sent love calls to him.
In the beginning, Birtz seemed likely to go to Bayern Munich. Many of the best talents in German football in the past, including Manuel Neuer, Leroy Sane, Michael Ballack, and Leon Goretzka, went to Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich has also shown its sincerity in attracting as much cash as possible despite its recently reduced financial size and challenging to recruit Birtz.
However, Birtz announced that he would go to Liverpool and closed the communication channel with Bayern Munich. Until last month, it was expected that Birtz would soon be confirmed to go to Liverpool by June, but negotiations are dragging on as Leverkusen's adherence to transfer fees continues. Kicker said, "Liverpool offered Leverkusen a transfer fee of 115 million euros (about 180.8 billion won) and 130 million euros (about 204.4 billion won). However, Leverkusen CEO Fernando Caro has always wanted more than 150 million euros."
Kicker believes that Liverpool could turn to a transaction that includes players rather than additional cash. The U.S. media said, "A transaction involving players such as Harvey Elliott for 130 million euros could be made. Elliott can play both offensive midfielder and wing forward with left-footed capability, but his position has recently declined," adding, "Liverpool is expected to recruit Birz and use his predecessor Dominic Sobosley in various forms after hiring him as an offensive midfielder. Elliott's position will be further narrowed."
Liverpool Echo, a media outlet specializing in Liverpool, said on the day, "Negotiations between the two clubs are continuing. It is approaching 150 million euros. Birtz has joined the German national team for training."
