Nobody wants to read about Florian Wirtz anymore unless you are prepared to lose all dignity and pretend that the deal has fallen through.

Florian Wirtz will not have his Liverpool medical until Friday after going on holiday having played for Germany last week with £116m signing set to pen a five-year contract

Florian Wirtz's imminent transfer to Liverpool has been labelled a "real shame" by Borussia Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke. The Reds have struck a £116million deal with Bayer Leverkusen for the superstar, who is due to fly to the UK for his medical later this week.

Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for an initial $135 million, according to CBS Sports sources. The agreement to sign the German international could ultimately break the British transfer record set by Chelsea when they signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for just short of $145 million.

Paul Joyce says people in football have now suggested to him that Florian Wirtz will be a 'sensational' signing.

The deal, reportedly to cost over $150 million dollars, gives reigning Premier League champions Liverpool a marquee playmaker with versatility across the attacking parts of the pitch.

Bournemouth's transfer activity appears to have paved the way for Liverpool to sign highly-rated left-back Milos Kerkez.
