Florian Wirtz was said to be the second highest desk of Liverpool behind Mohamed Salah.
There are conversations between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, who want £ 120 million for their star man, a fee that the British transfer record would break.
The last offer of Liverpool was £ 109 million and the Reds have confidence to seal in their goal after he was convinced by the blueprint of Arne Slot for his involvement.
Richard Hughes, the Liverpool sports director, has presented a package to his Leverkusen contradiction Simon Rolfes with easily feasible performance-related bonuses, such as Champions League qualification, but the clubs still have to match a final fee.
German Outlet Bild claims that Wirtz is paid between £ 16.83 million and £ 18.51 million per season in Anfield, which would be brought behind Salah and perhaps Virgil van Dijk. These things are rarely an exact science because of bonuses.
Bild insists that Wirtz, 22, could have earned more if he had chosen Bayern Munich, but the attacking midfielder did not decide there.
“I don't even care how much money I have on my account or what I could earn in the future,” he told Sports Illustrated Germany this year.
'Of course you must ensure that you get a good contract. But for me, the sporting perspective is much more important than the money.
'And I think my parents would be angry if I was too fixed on money. After I moved to Leverkusen at the age of 16, my parents managed my salary and sent me 150 euros (£ 126) per month.
“That shaped me. It was important for my parents that I didn't do anything stupid with my salary. '
In the meantime, conversations between Bayer and Liverpool are going on while trying to find a middle ground for one of the most wanted talents in Europe.
Wirtz has joined the German national team prior to their luminaire against Portugal and will build on his 29 caps on Wednesday evening.
There is a possibility that Bayer could bring a Liverpool player to Germany as part of the deal.
Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah are both admired by Leverkusen, but Elliott will not be presented as brand weight.
Liverpool has already successfully done business with Bayer this summer and signed Jeremie Frimpong last week for £ 29.5 million.
Further conversations are expected to take place this week with Bournemouth also for £ 45 million rated left back Milos Kerkez.
