And although much attention is shifting to the controversial club World Cup, with Chelsea and Manchester City the two representatives of the Premier League, the Liverpool recruitment also makes noise in the United States.
Here are the big stories to keep an eye on in and around Anfield while the transfer window is open again.
Bayern forbade
Wirtz was briefly tipped to join Bundesliga Giants Bayern Munich and after they lost Leroy Sane, to Galatasaray and veteran Thomas Muller, at the end of his contract, there is astonishment that Vincent Kompany's team has been left so short to attacking options.
And Joshua Kimmich added to that when he was asked for Wirtz on his way to Anfield before Bayern received their club World Cup campaign against Auckland City on Sunday evening.
“You will have to ask the club what their plans are,” he said. “Of course you feel that we could do something – with Flo (Wirtz) who doesn't come, with Leroy who leaves, with Thomas who leaves.
“I was surprised that (Sane) is going to Turkey. I did not expect that. But it is his decision and he will have his reasons for it.”
KERKEZ -DEAL
As soon as the Wirtz deal is confirmed, Milos Kerkez is expected to question Bournemouth to Merseyside – to question the future of Andrew Robertson in the midst of interest from Atletico Madrid.
But Kerkez's Hungary teammate Dominik Szoboszlai was tightly ignored when he was asked about it in an interview with Nemzeti Sport. “I don't know about him … for now,” said the midfielder.
In the meantime, Robertson insists that he is happy and fit – despite a season in which he found the hard work to reach top form.
