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

Liverpool will pay £116m for Wirtz in a deal that smashes the club’s current transfer record. The Reds had two bids rejected, the last one of £113m which would have seen £100m paid up front with performance-related add-ons, but have finally got the deal over the line.

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.
