Liverpool's summer pursuit of Florian Wirtz takes another twist with Bayer Leverkusen 'embroiled in a million-dollar dispute' - as Reds look to sign playmaker despite £110m bid rejected

The Florian Wirtz transfer saga has taken another twist with Liverpool still working to complete a deal for the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder.

The Reds remain in negotiations with Leverkusen over the player with the German club wanting £120million.

Liverpool are currently at £109m but Wirtz has made it clear he wants the move after being convinced by Arne Slot of a plan of where he will play in Liverpool's set-up as a No 10.

Should the Reds accept to Bayer's demands, Wirtz would become the most expensive signing in British football, overtaking the £115m Chelsea paid Brighton for Moises Caicedo.
