Liverpool need new striker to take pressure of Mohamed Salah
Football Insider Verdict
Pete O’Rourke revealed exclusively to Football Insider that Liverpool are closing in on completing the signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
The German superstar will add creativity and dynamism to the Reds’ attack and is regarded as one of the best players of his generation.
However, there are still some issues to address for the Merseyside club’s recruitment team this summer, namely the striker position.

Darwin Nunez is expected to leave Liverpool this summer after failing to find his feet in England and Diogo Jota’s injury issues make him a player Arne Slot can no longer rely on to feature regularly.
As a consequence, the Reds will need to find a replacement this summer to alleviate the goal-scoring burden that currently rests squarely on Salah’s shoulders.
