Florian Wirtz to Liverpool a ‘done deal' as staggering contract details revealed
Liverpool's move to sign Florian Wirtz is a 'done deal', according to the latest reports in Germany. It emerged this week that Liverpool have increased their offer for Wirtz to £113million as they look to seal a club-record deal for the Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder. Advertisement That offer falls short of the £125m that Leverkusen are demanding for Wirtz but a fresh report from Bild says an 'agreement is certain'. The report also claims Wirtz is set to earn around a staggering £340,000 a week at Anfield, where he will sign a five-year contract. Wirtz is currently on international duty with Germany (Getty Images) Negotiations continue and Wirtz could undergo a medical next week as Liverpool bid to wrap up a deal. Wirtz has made it clear he wants to move to Anfield and Liverpool are confident a deal will be struck for the 22-year-old. Liverpool are ready to spend big in the transfer market this summer as they bid to strengthen Arne Slot's side after they cruised to the Premier League title last season. Advertisement The Reds are also in talks to sign full-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for between £45m and £50m. They have already agreeed a £29.5m deal for Wirtz's Leverkusen team-mate Jeremie Frimpong. Slot said recently that the champions would be "stupid" not to strengthen this summer. 'There are not many that can strengthen us, but the few that are out there, we will try to get them,' said Slot. 'At this moment in time we're not sure if that's possible.' Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa have all been linked with moves away from Anfield. Barcelona have had an approach for Diaz rejected.

Chiefs Looking To Add 1 Key Element To 2025 Offense
Chiefs Looking To Add 1 Key Element To 2025 Offense originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When Patrick Mahomes first emerged on the scene for the Kansas City Chiefs, the offense was one of the best in football. Advertisement That was due, in part, to the Chiefs' ability to get big, explosive plays in the passing game as Patrick Mahomes averaged over 280 passing yards per game and has at least 37 passing touchdowns in four of his first five seasons as a starter. But over the past couple of years, that long bomb has disappeared from the playbook, and despite the Chiefs stating last offseason they wanted to bring it back, Mahomes didn't dial up the launch codes often. However, this offseason, Mahomes has been wanting to get that part of the offense back. But offensive coordinator Matt Nagy knows that saying they want to do it and actually doing it are two different things. "Talk is cheap, right?'' Nagy said. "You can't talk about it. You've got to be able to do it. So I think it's a mentality of every day in practice trying to make sure you stress not only the importance of talking about it but then doing it in practice. Advertisement "It's our job as coaches to emphasize it more and then let these guys go out there, and then their mindset, too, is cutting it loose every now and then and not every one is going to be perfect, but so far up to this point it's been beautiful with the attack mindset." Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) throws as guard Joe Thuney (62) provides coverage against Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Da'Shawn Hand (93).Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images So the Chiefs want to get downfield this season. They have the quarterback to do it, and with the return of Rashee Rice, a healthy Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, and Xavier Worthy, there are receivers who can motor downfield in a hurry. Now it is all about practicing it, and then when the regular season rolls around, doing it with live bullets flying. Advertisement Kansas City didn't have much of a deep threat last season with Mahomes having his lowest ever yards per completion (10.0), but it is clear the franchise wants to give Patrick license to go deep far more often. Time will tell if it translates to production in the regular season.
