Liverpool’s pursuit of Florian Wirtz is heating up, but the Reds are not letting it distract them from their interest in Anthony Gordon, according to recent reports. The Merseyside club is making waves in the transfer market following their Premier League triumph in Arne Slot’s debut season, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down.
With the title secured by the end of April, Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes have had ample time to strategize for the summer transfer window. Their early planning has already paid off, with Jeremie Frimpong reportedly completing a medical ahead of his move from Bayer Leverkusen. The Dutch right-back is expected to fill the void left by Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer.
But Liverpool’s ambitions don’t stop there. The Reds are also eyeing Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez to bolster their left-back options, with the Hungarian defender said to have agreed personal terms. Meanwhile, the club is reportedly in advanced talks to secure the services of Bayer Leverkusen’s attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, with a staggering €150 million deal on the horizon.
Wirtz, a rising star in German football, is said to be eager to join Liverpool, with reports suggesting he’s ready to “jump into a private jet and sign his five-year deal.” However, the Reds’ transfer activity doesn’t end with Wrist. Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon remains firmly on their radar, with former Manchester United and Tottenham scout Mick Brown confirming that Liverpool’s interest in the winger is still alive.
Brown, who maintains strong connections within the Premier League, told *Football Insider*, “Anthony Gordon is still on their radar. He’s been one of Liverpool’s top targets for a while. He’s a Liverpool lad, having come through Everton’s academy, and the club knows him well. While Wirtz’s deal seems to be progressing, that won’t stop them from considering Gordon.”
Liverpool’s attacking options are already stacked, with the likes of Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, and Darwin Nunez in the mix. However, Brown suggests that potential departures could open the door for Gordon to make the move. “If they retain their current squad, they won’t need both Gordon and Wirtz. But if there are any exits, Gordon could be the perfect addition to Slot’s plans,” he added.
As the summer transfer window unfolds, Liverpool’s strategy appears to be a blend of securing top-tier talent and addressing squad depth. With Wirtz and Gordon both in their sights, the Reds are making it clear they’re not just here to defend their title—they’re here to dominate.
