Liverpool's £109m offer for Florian Wirtz 'is REJECTED' - with an agreement between the Reds and Bayer Leverkusen 'still a long way off'
Liverpool 's club-record bid for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz has been rejected, reports from Germany claim. Wirtz has been earmarked as the Reds' No 1 target this summer, as Arne Slot looks to build on the side that delivered him a Premier League title in his first season on Merseyside. The 22-year-old was key to Leverkusen's unlikely Bundesliga triumph in 2023-24 and has long been linked with a move to Bavarian giants Bayern Munich. Manchester City have also reportedly been tracking Wirtz, with Pep Guardiola reportedly viewing him as the perfect successor to Kevin De Bruyne as the club's primary creative outlet. In recent weeks however, Anfield has emerged as the most likely destination for the Germany international - with Wirtz having already agreed personal terms for a move. Liverpool further demonstrated their desire to complete the deal by tabling a bid worth €130milion (£109m). However, according to a report from Bild, the offer has been rejected with Leverkusen reportedly determined to secure a €150m (£127m) for their prize asset. The report further claims that the shortfall could be made up with performance-related bonuses but stresses that the deal is not considered to be in jeopardy. Another suggestion made in recent days is that Liverpool could offer a player to serve as a makeweight in negotiations, with Jarrell Quansah and Harvey Elliott named as potential candidates. Former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was appointed Leverkusen's new head coach last week after Xabi Alonso departed to take charge of Real Madrid. Ten Hag has been out of work since being sacked by United in October but has wasted little time looking to the Premier League to reshape his new squad. On Sunday the Bundesliga side closed in on the signing of goalkeeper Mark Flekken from Brentford. With their No 1 departing, Brentford are set to sign Liverpool academy graduate Caoimhin Kelleher in a deal worth £18m.

Urgent Disney+ warning as users face an eye-watering £1k fine if they fail to follow little-known streaming rule - but are YOU at risk?
Simply watching one of the latest Disney+ steaming offerings could land users in hot water if they don't take precautions. Sports fans are in luck this year, as Disney has acquired the rights to brand new footie coverage - but there is a catch. Disney+ has bagged the rights to the UEFA Women's Champions League across Europe for the next season. The tournament will be screened on Disney+ for the next five years to come, from the 25/26 season to 29/30. From October, Disney+ subscribers will be able to stream every match, and they'll be no additional cost to the monthly subscription fee, provided they have a TV license. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Even though the matches will be broadcast through a prepaid streaming service, a license is still necessary in order to view live television. If viewers are caught watching live content without a TV licence, they could be fined up to a hefty £1,000. The majority of Disney+ content has retained its exemption from the license fee - as long as it isn't broadcasted live. Disney announced this exciting new addition to their streaming platform at the end of May. 'Disney+ will be the home of the UEFA Women's Champions League across Europe from next season, allowing fans to watch every match live at no extra cost.', the stated This development 'follows a five-year deal in which The Walt Disney Company has secured live rights to the competition from 2025/26 to 2029/30,' noted the streaming service. 'As the only place fans can watch all live matches in the competition, coverage on Disney+ will launch in October 2025, marking a new era for the UEFA Women's Champions League with the introduction of the 18-team League phase format.' Karl Holmes, General Manager, Disney+ EMEA, stated: 'The UEFA Women's Champions League is the very best in football performance, dedication, and passion.' 'Bringing this incredible tournament to Disney+ customers and audiences speaks to our commitment to delivering a huge range of bold and dynamic entertainment.' 'As women's football continues to grow with audiences worldwide, we're proud to offer the thrill and excitement of every single match to Disney+ customers across Europe, at no extra cost.' It's unusual for streaming services such as Netflix, Prime Video or Disney+ Plus to require a TV license from customers. But TV Licensing explains, 'You need to be covered by a TV Licence to watch live on streaming services - such as ITVX, Channel 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go, Netflix and Freely.' The cost of a TV Licence recently increased from £169.50 to £174.50 per year on April 1st. Streaming giants are increasingly investing down the avenue of live production with Netflix's recent event 'Tudum LIVE' being streamed in real time exclusively on Netflix. The show - named after the sound that plays at the start of every Netflix movie - is described as 'Netflix's biggest fan party', and featured several live performances on May 31. However, while fans may have been excited to watch the show in real-time, doing so could land you with a hefty fine. The show - named after the sound that plays at the start of every Netflix movie - is described as 'Netflix's biggest fan party', and featured several live performances on May 31 The problem is that you still need a TV Licence to watch live shows - even if they are being shown on a streaming service like Netflix. At a newly-increased price of £174.50, paying for a TV Licence isn't cheap. However, it is still a lot less than the fine you might face for not having one. 'Not paying for a TV Licence could lead to a £1,000 fine if we find that you have been watching, recording or downloading programmes illegally,' TV Licensing explains on its website.
