Liverpool have run out of time to sign Florian Wirtz during the first summer transfer window but the Reds remain close to sealing a deal for the Bayer Leverkusen star

Liverpool have already announced a deal worth almost £30m to sign Wirtz’s Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong, so a deal for the German could take their spending to around £150m this summer. They are also interested in left-back Milos Kerkez, with Bournemouth valuing the Hungary international at £45m.

Fabrizio Romano has why Liverpool will easily meet add-ons over the €150m Florian Wirtz fee, while Andy Robertson has spoken out on the impending arrival.
