Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes has opened up on how Liverpool beat Bayern Munich and Manchester City to secure the transfer for German sensation Florian Wirtz this summer. Wirtz opted to move to Anfield for a British record transfer fee of £116 million ($159m) despite strong interest from Bundesliga champions Bayern and the Cityzens.
Liverpool won't be able to exercise their buyback clause for Jarell Quansah until 2027 as official confirmation of his move to Bayer Leverkusen approaches.
