Transfer talk kicks into gear

Premier League clubs are already busy strengthening their squads for the 2025/26 season and here we look at four names to watch as the transfer window kicks into gear.
FLORIAN WIRTZ (BAYER LEVERKUSEN)
Liverpool have shown no sign of resting on their laurels as English champions, moving quickly to back manager Arne Slot heavily this summer.
The darling of German football, Wirtz looks set to smash the Premier League transfer record should he get his wish of a dream move to Anfield, with Liverpool reportedly having had a bid worth up to £109 million (B4.7 billion) rebuffed.
Wirtz was instrumental in Leverkusen's stunning German league and cup double in the 2023/24 season, plus a run to the Europa League final.
The two clubs have already agreed one deal as Jeremie Frimpong has joined Liverpool as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
