Summer transfer season started on June 1 and big teams are ready to splash the cash

 LONDON - English Premier League clubs are already busy strengthening their squads for the 2025-26 season with an early frenzy over player movement sparked by the upcoming Club World Cup. Here are five 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. After a quiet first year for Arne Slot in the transfer market, the Reds have moved quickly to back the Dutchman this summer.
Wirtz, 22, looks set to smash the Premier League's transfer record should he move to Anfield.
Liverpool have reportedly had a bid worth £109 million (S$189 million) rebuffed as Leverkusen hold out for a £125 million fee. That would break the record set by Chelsea's £115 million capture of Moises Caicedo in 2023.
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 a deal, with Jeremie Frimpong joining Liverpool as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
