The transfer window may be shut but Liverpool are still working on getting deals over the line
Wirtz, Kerkez, and more? Liverpool’s transfer window is just heating up
It hasn’t exactly been the usual summer circus for Liverpool — not a flood of transfer rumours flying in every direction. But the names that are being mentioned? They’re serious ones. And it looks like the Reds are quietly getting the job done.
Top of the list: Florian Wirtz. It’s the story of the window so far — and yeah, it’s been dragging on longer than anyone would’ve liked. But after Fabrizio Romano dropped his famous “here we go,” fans on Merseyside finally started to breathe a little easier.
Sure, social media’s still buzzing with talk that the deal isn’t quite done, and there are some reports throwing cold water on it. Even David Ornstein’s said things aren’t signed off yet. One fan joked on X: “Fab has just been ruled off for offside.”
Romano, unfazed as ever, fired back: “I’ll be back when it’s gonna be VAR time then 😏.”
It’s classic Fab — playful, but it says a lot. He doesn’t joke like that unless he’s 100% sure. If anything, it’s a sign that Liverpool fans should stay calm. The Wirtz deal might not be fully over the line yet, but it’s not far off.
So what’s next for Liverpool?
Once Wirtz is officially announced, the focus turns to Milos Kerkez. That one looks like it’s already in motion and should be a much smoother ride than the Wirtz saga. Kerkez fits the profile — young, hungry, and already proving himself.
But the Reds aren’t done there. A striker is still on the radar, with Hugo Ekitike one of the names being floated around. And in defense, don’t be surprised if a young centre-back joins the party — Jorrel Hato from Ajax is a strong shout.
It’s shaping up to be a big summer at Anfield — not just in terms of arrivals, but exits too. A lot of movement is expected, and by the time the dust settles, Arne Slot could be looking at a very different squad than the one Klopp left behind.
One thing’s clear: Liverpool are being smart, not splashy. But they’re building something — and fans should be excited.
