A Liverpool star will not be part of any potential deal for Florian Wirtz as the Reds prepare a record bid for the midfielder.
Liverpool remain in negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen over a deal for Wirtz. Bayer 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.
