Liverpool change in transfer plan explained as verdict shared on £300m arrivals
Lucas Leiva believes the settled nature of Liverpool's squad will allow Florian Wirtz the freedom to justify his £116m price tag. And the former midfielder says no-one at Anfield will be uneasy about the raft of new arrivals this summer. Wirtz became the most expensive Liverpool signing of all time when the Premier League champions agreed to pay Bayer Leverkusen an initial £100m with a further £16m in success-based add-ons last month and the Bundesliga player of the season arrives amid huge excitement among the Reds' fanbase. The 22-year-old followed on from the £29m addition of his Leverkusen team-mate Jeremie Frimpong before a £40m capture of Milos Kerkez was confirmed from Bournemouth later that month. READ MORE: Liverpool midfielder makes 'surprise' admission ahead of transfer decision READ MORE: Liverpool transfer intrigue grows over missing forward as new multi-year deal announced Liverpool are now on the cusp of committing a further £79m for Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike and inclusive of the £29m deal for Giorgi Mamardashvili last summer from Valencia, Liverpool have now spent close to £300m in what has been a history-making summer transfer window already, with over a month still to go. Lucas, who served Liverpool for 10 years prior to his 2017 departure, thinks the makeup of the squad means Wirtz will find it easier to play the sort of football that emboldened the club fend off interest from Manchester City and Bayern Munich to land him in a blockbuster deal in June. "I have seen him a bit, not much, but I think he is a midfielder who can score goals, can assist and link-up with the strikers - we don't know the system that Arne [Slot] will probably play - but I think he will add something different to the players we have in midfield," Lucas told the ECHO in Hong Kong. "Of course, the price tag, it always comes with big expectations but I think he has shown that he is capable of doing that and he won the league, the cup and he has good experience as a national team player so I think he is arriving in a team that is very well organised, which will just give him the freedom to express himself. "I think, you know, new signings are always welcome when they come to add something more to this squad. Because it is what players expect from the new players: to add something more that they maybe don't have - or they have to replace someone that had to leave or moved on. "No, I think in a team like Liverpool, competition is always there. People understand if they don't want competition they cannot be at Liverpool because you fight for titles, you fight for good things and you must have competition for places in every single position. "You cannot do this on your own, that is very clear. So in the same way, of course fans get excited when you have a lot of players coming in and spending a lot of money but let's not forget that players who are already here now or was here last year, we didn't have as many signings and we still won the league. "So it's important that these new players will feel the culture of the team that will help them to succeed but the players who are here already, they have a strong base to keep going forward. So it doesn't mean that we spend a lot of money and we're going to win. But it's clear that I am sure they will add something the team needs to keep competitive." Lucas added: "Building from a position of strength? Exactly. That is how I see it. Many years ago, we had so many injury problems and I remember a season where we ended up with almost no defenders (2020/21) and so I think the club realised that it needs to have depth because if you have injuries, you can replace players of the same level and I think it is that. I can imagine that is what the club is thinking. "It is really important [for the seniors players to maintain club culture] and I think we have so many leaders in that team now. Alisson, Virgil, Mo Salah, Robertson. So it is really important to help these players, the new signings, to understand the role they are playing. "And also to understand the culture of work, of a team and we can see that Liverpool, no-one who is more important than the team and it is really hard, it seems easy, but it is really hard to create that culture and that is why Liverpool have been so successful." Liverpool return to action when they meet AC Milan at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong on Saturday before jetting out to Japan for the second leg of their Asian tour.

Farid Alfa-Ruprecht joins Bayer Leverkusen from Manchester City
Manchester City have confirmed the sale of Academy talent Farid Alfa-Ruprecht to Bayer Leverkusen in a deal that has banked the club further immediate and future profits. The 19-year-old winger has agreed on a permanent move to the Bundesliga giants after two years within the youth system at the City Football Academy. Alfa-Ruprecht, who arrived from Hamburg in 2022, has earned admiration internally for his speed, dribbling flair, and direct goal threat – attributes that led to comparisons with Jeremy Doku during his time in Manchester. Though he did not register a senior appearance for Pep Guardiola's first-team, Alfa-Ruprecht featured regularly at Under-21 level last season, scoring seven times in just 12 appearances and helping the club clinch the 2024/25 Premier League 2 title. His only taste of senior involvement came in the Carabao Cup, when he was named in the matchday squad for Manchester City's away trip to Tottenham, though he remained on the bench throughout the contest. Despite his limited first-team exposure, interest from across Europe had been growing over the past 12 months and particularly this summer, with City's willingness to allow a permanent exit based not on doubts over talent, but the intense competition within Guardiola's senior squad. Now, as outlined by the Manchester Evening News' Tyrone Marshall, City have banked £5 million from the sale of Farid Alfa-Ruprecht to Bayer Leverkusen, and have also managed to negotiate a staggering 50 per cent sell-on clause for the German winger. Speaking upon the signing of the 19-year-old, Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes said, 'Alfa-Ruprecht made a big impact as a wide player in the English Under-21 league. A strong goal-scoring record, incredible speed, and great footballing talent make him a highly interesting prospect for our first team.' Adding his own thoughts on the agreement, Director of football Kim Falkenberg admitted, 'We clearly see the potential in Farid to become an important player for Bayer 04 in the future.' As for Farid Alfa-Ruprecht himself, the teenager said of the move, 'Leverkusen is a top club with great appeal. I will repay the trust placed in me and do everything I can to earn the chance to play in a Bayer jersey.' Comments from the highly-rated forward follow a message penned to supporter of Manchester City on Instagram last week, in which he said, 'Thank you for the last three years where I was able to develop myself as a footballer but most importantly as a person. 'I want to thank all my teammates and coaches who l was able to work with. I've enjoyed every single day of it and I appreciate all your efforts towards me from the first day I arrived at this club. 'Special thanks to my family and closest friends without you I wouldn't be the person I am today and lastly to my coach Ben Wilkinson who helped me immensely from the first day I arrived. This won't go unappreciated. Thank you.' From Manchester City's perspective, the deal reflects a broader strategy of generating revenue from their highly productive Academy system – a model that has already delivered significant profits through the sales of players such as Romeo Lavia, Liam Delap, and Cole Palmer. Crucially, the 50 per cent sell-on clause inserted into the Farid Alfa-Ruprecht agreement ensures the Premier League giants remain financially involved in the winger's development should he earn a major future move. Looking ahead, Alfa-Ruprecht will now attempt to break into one of Europe's most exciting attacking sides under Erik ten Hag, with Bayer Leverkusen competing across multiple fronts in the 2025/26 campaign. Should he impress in the Bundesliga, it is perhaps not out of the question that City could revisit the player down the line, or even direct rivals of the Etihad club. For now, the move brings closure to another successful Manchester City Academy chapter and ensures that the club continues to benefit, both financially and on a reputation perspective, from its youth development efforts.
