Liverpool remain on standby for Florian Wirtz, with Kaveh Solhekol and Fabrizio Romano explaining how a blockbuster transfer could yet come off at Anfield.

Liverpool are closing in on their first major signing of the summer with Jeremie Frimpong set to join the Reds but Florian Wirtz is also a big transfer target

Liverpool are looking to cement their place at the summit of English football by signing Bayer Leverkusen superstar Florian Wirtz, and are prepared to break their transfer record to do so

The new champions have been underpinned by the performances of captain Virgil van Dijk, midfielder Ryan Gravenberch and frontman Gakpo this term, with all three starring for a Reds side that will win the league by 12 points if they beat Crystal Palace on Sunday at Anfield.

Liverpool's owners and directors have held an 'emergency meeting' to discuss the signing of Florian Wirtz as a stunning update has emerged. Wirtz is one of the leading talents in world football following his stellar performances for Bayer Leverkusen.

This seemingly leaves Liverpool and Bayern Munich as the main contenders to sign Wirtz, but McCoist has warned the Reds against a move. The pundit claims Wirtz’s huge valuation and Liverpool’s need to sign a new striker to replace Darwin Nunez should be enough to put them off.
