Liverpool owners call 'emergency meeting' as Florian Wirtz transfer saga takes shock new twist

A meeting was scheduled at 'short notice' to discuss the signing of Florian Wirtz.

Liverpool's owners and directors have held an 'emergency meeting' to discuss the signing of Florian Wirtz as a stunning update has emerged.

Wirtz is one of the leading talents in world football following his stellar performances for Bayer Leverkusen.

Several clubs are keeping tabs on the German international ahead of the summer transfer window reopening.

Bayern Munich and Liverpool are among the teams monitoring his situation, with Manchester City 'withdrawing' from the race to sign Wirtz after discovering the true cost of a potential deal.

But Premier League champions Liverpool are prepared to fork out a huge fee to lure the 22-year-old to Anfield.

That's according to Christian Falk, who claims Liverpool scheduled a meeting on 'short notice' to put forward a case to sign Wirtz.

Per Falk, Liverpool's chiefs discussed Wirtz after his family visit last week.

Michael Edwards has sanctioned the club's pursuit of the star forward, justifying his €150 million (£127 million) price tag.

It is a 'big goal' of the Liverpool bosses to snatch Wirtz away from Bundesliga champions Bayern.

The Reds have followed his development for years and information has been gathered. They believe the chance to strike is now.

The transfer of Wirtz would be a statement signing for Liverpool, who plan to go to the next level following their Premier League-winning campaign this season.

Liverpool are on the verge of completing a deal for Wirtz's teammate Jeremie Frimpong, who completed a medical ahead of his proposed switch.

Speaking ahead of Liverpool's game against Brighton, Arne Slot talked up new signings as he hopes to add 'extra weapons' to his squad.

“I think we can find one or two extra weapons this team doesn’t have," he said.

"Maybe, maybe, by using the transfer market. That is what we are trying to achieve. That will make us only stronger. That is what we need because we saw [Manchester] City spending £200m in the [January] transfer window. All of them will. Apart from the transfer window, we can also improve certain aspects ourselves."
