Liverpool's main transfer target of the summer Florian Wirtz was involved in a heated battle with Bruno Fernandes during Germany's Nations League defeat by Portugal.
Liverpool are pursuing a club record transfer of attacking midfielder Wirtz, with Bayer Leverkusen holding out for £120million for one of Europe's most sought-after midfielders.
The Reds are currently at £109m, but reports suggest a deal is on the verge of being agreed, with personal terms not an issue.
On Wednesday, Reds fans got a first sighting of Wirtz since news broke of their pursuit when he lined up for his country in the Nations League semi-final clash.
