Liverpool are not done yet! Reds turn their attention to Premier League star after agreeing British record £116m deal for Florian Wirtz – with a No 9 and a defender also on their wishlist

Liverpool are set to take their summer spending spree past £200million after agreeing a record-breaking deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

The Germany star will complete a switch to the Premier League champions for a club-record £100m, which could rise to a British-record £116m, after turning down Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

The Reds will now look to sign £45m-rated Bournemouth left back Milos Kerkez. 

It is understood they are in direct contact with the Cherries and will try to negotiate a lower fee. 

They are also targeting a No 9 or defender if they can balance the books with outgoings.

Attacking midfielder Wirtz, 22, is on holiday and expected to have a medical in England when that finishes.

He has held talks with Arne Slot, who has outlined a vision to him over playing in the No 10 role, although he can play wide, deeper in midfield and as a striker.

Liverpool have already signed Valencia keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili for £29m and Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong for £29.5m.
