Liverpool have agreed a potential British transfer record deal which will see Florian Wirtz move to Anfield from Bayer Leverkusen

In an era when transfer windows are often defined by noise and spectacle, Liverpool have opted for precision. Their move for Florian Wirtz, reportedly worth up to €136.3 million, is not a gamble dressed up as ambition.

Florian Wirtz rejected Manchester City and not the other way around, according to the ultimate Liverpool source who has also revealed why the Reds were chosen ahead of Bayern Munich.
