Foreign media: Bayern will target 150 million European pharmaceutical factory for Wilz, and Manchester City and Liverpool are also competing

May 21st Foreign media cfbayerninsider reported that Manchester City's offer for Bayern Munich is also competing for Wilz, and Liverpool also seems to threaten to steal the German genius from Bayern.

This is not the first time Liverpool has been associated with Wilz. Liverpool coach Slott's team reportedly met with the Leverkusen star on Tuesday. On the same day, Manchester City also negotiated with Werz and his family, including his agent and father Hans Joachim Werz. It is worth noting that the meeting between Liverpool and Wilz was pre-arranged and not a temporary decision. Of course, Liverpool knows that signing Wilz may require more than 100 million euros (about 84.2 million pounds), and Leverkusen hopes to get 150 million euros (about 126.3 million pounds).

Although Wilz's unique abilities are very attractive to Liverpool, the club has other priorities to deal with, especially the introduction of a scorer who can meet Slot's expectations, which Darwin Nunes seems to have failed to meet. Athletic Director Richard Hughes will face a busy job in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Pharmaceuticals must take it seriously when facing interests from top Premier League teams, including defending champions. Currently, Bayern plans to bid 100 million euros, and Leverkusen can put pressure on Bayern if Liverpool and Manchester City make higher offers. However, Bayern senior executives are confident that Werz will fulfill his commitment to the Bundesliga championship. Assuming Bayern can agree on the transfer fee with Leverkusen, Kompany's side hopes that Wiltz will join immediately this summer. Otherwise, the club is willing to wait another year and take advantage of some transfer fees that may be reduced. Of course, it all depends on Liverpool and Manchester City are unable to reach an agreement with the players and their clubs. This situation seems unlikely.
