Liverpool hopes to complete a deal to sign Bournemouth back Milos Kerkez in the coming days.
The cherries are firmly with their appreciation of £ 45 million, but can close a deal for around £ 40 million.
Kerkez, 21, could be the second signing of Liverpool of the summer transfer window if he is not beaten by the German superstar Florian Wirtz.
Sources in Germany say that a deal to sign Wirtz '99 percent' is in a stimulated package that would break Liverpool's transfer record.
The Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder, who will play for the Germans in their UEFA Nations League semi-final against Portugal tonight, is very enthusiastic about a move to Anfield and this is now a matter of 'when' not 'if'.
He will follow Leverkusen friend Jeremie Frimpong to Liverpool after the Wing Back had written a deal of five years last week in a relocation of £ 29.5 million.
These three deals will take the summer expenditure of the Reds to more than £ 200 million if you also take into account the £ 25 million deal, plus achievable add-ons, for new goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. That step was completed last summer, but this year counts as one for the financial sheets.
It means that Liverpool has to balance the books with sales. They have already brought in £ 10 million for Trent Alexander-Arnold who leaves early for Real Madrid and will eventually be £ 18 million banking for the Caoimhin Kelleher switch to Brentford.
Darwin Nunez will probably leave, while money can also be brought in by the sale of players such as Kostas Tsimikas. Young stars Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah attract interest in home and abroad for permanent movements, although Liverpool would like great costs.
Winger Luis Diaz is another one who is said to have lover with Al Nassr and Barcelona who supposedly turns him.
Liverpool, however, does not want to sell the Colombian and he has two more years about his current deal.
