Florian Wirtz appeared to nod in agreement when asked if he was 'excited for Liverpool' after Germany's Nations League defeat by Portugal on Wednesday night.
The Reds remain in negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen over a deal for the 22-year-old. Leverkusen want £120million and Liverpool are at £109m but Wirtz has made it clear he wants the move.
The Germany star has been convinced by Arne Slot’s clear plan of where he will play in Liverpool’s set-up as a No 10.
Should the Reds accede to Bayer's demands, Wirtz would become the most expensive signing in British football, overtaking the £115m Chelsea paid Brighton for Moises Caicedo.
