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.

Liverpool are set to break the British transfer record with a £116million swoop for Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz. The Reds have finally reached an agreement after several failed bids, beating off competition from Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
