‘Mo Salah to hand over Liverpool crown’ as blockbuster deal agreed
Mohamed Salah’s reign as Liverpool’s leading star could be nearing its end.
Salah has recently signed a new two-year deal to keep him at Liverpool for another two seasons.
Fenway Sports Group have also acted swiftly in the transfer market to back Arne Slot with the players he wants ahead of a crucial season next year.
It will come as welcome news to Reds fans, seeing their club act with intent after a few quiet summers – something that will no doubt reassure Salah after committing to a new deal.
Liverpool finally end transfer saga
Liverpool are set to get their man as Florian Wirtz makes his highly anticipated move to Merseyside, leaving Germany behind.
It’s been widely reported that the Reds and Bayer Leverkusen had reached an agreement for the transfer of the midfielder.
Liverpool will break the British transfer record by signing Wirtz for £116million as he completes the switch.
The fee will be split into two parts, with £100million guaranteed and a further £16million in add-ons and performance-related bonuses.
It’s a major coup for the Premier League champions, who beat out Manchester City and Bayern Munich to secure his signature.
Wirtz could be the missing piece in Liverpool’s midfield puzzle
The Merseyside club enters an exciting new era of ambition and promise after securing the signing of Wirtz.
The midfielder adds another dimension to the squad, bringing quality and depth to Liverpool’s midfield options.
| 2024/25 | Appearnces | Goals |
| Alexis Mac Allister | 35 | 5 |
| Ryan Gravenberch | 36 | 6 |
| Dominik Szoboszlai | 37 | 0 |
| Curtis Jones | 33 | 3 |
Liverpool’s current midfield options are among the best in the Premier League, proven by their title-winning campaign last season.
However, inconsistency toward the end saw them go winless in their final four Premier League games, with two draws and two losses.
They also lacked a strong midfield goal threat, with their four main midfielders combining for just 14 goals. In contrast, Wirtz scored 10 goals in 31 Bundesliga appearances last season.
If Liverpool can bring out the best in the 22-year-old, he has the tools to become one of the Premier League’s top midfielders. His creativity and goal-scoring ability suit Slot’s attacking style perfectly.
In time, he could grow into a key figure at Anfield – and potentially take on a leading role as Mohamed Salah’s long-term successor.
