Liverpool continues their pursuit of Florian Wirtz, but the German will cost enormous amounts, while a decision is also made about the future of Luis Diaz with his contract that expires
Liverpool remains the most active of the top clubs in this summer's transfer star while they want to build on their champion team. After the back of Premier League success, they have already signed Jeremie Frimpong.
The full-back has arrived from Bayer Leverkusen and fills the void left by Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Reds now want to add his former teammate Florian Wirtz, but a British record compensation is needed to take him to Anfield.
Liverpool and Arne Slot want to add more firepower to their front line, but it would take more than £ 120 million to land Wirtz. Other attackers are also linked because the Reds will make up for their quiet period 12 months ago.
More defensive additions are also expected and at the end of the season admitted that the club would try to improve their team where the opportunities arose and they continue to attack the market. Here is the latest news from Anfield.
Diaz Stance Clear
Liverpool does not intend to sell Luis Diaz this summer. The 28-year-old has only two years left of his current contract and he is connected to movements away from Anfield.
Saudi Pro League sides Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are both connected to him, as well as the Spanish giant Barcelona. But Liverpool claims that they have not had contact about his availability. However, there are also no plans to open contract discussions with Diaz, who may feed the exit talk.
He remains an important figure for Arne Slot and scored 17 goals in all competitions last season, but new additions to the front line could see the landscape change for different players change.
Wirtz Saga 'Not falls' Player
Julian Nagelsmann insists that Wirtz was great to play for Germany in their collision of the Nations League with Portugal despite the fact that his future is continuously talked.
He insists that negotiations on a blockbuster transfer to Liverpool do not distract the playmaker. The Reds have so far seen two bids that have been rejected by the Bundesliga outfit, which Wirtz appreciates on a stunning £ 126 million.
Nagelsmann said: “Flo will play [against Portugal]. I don't feel any fear of injury or something with him. He is a competitor who wants to play and want to be successful with us. I did not notice that the situation was bothering him. I think it is completely normal for every player, coach, whatever, to have one or two thoughts when a transfer is on your hands. I think that is part of it. “
Reds confident at Kerkez
Liverpool is increasingly trust in signing Bournemouth left back Milos Kerkez, according to Sky Sports. The 21-year-old may leave £ 40 million and personal conditions are not expected to be a problem.
Manchester City was also enthusiastic about the Hungary International, but shifted their focus to Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri, who liberated the Reds to go after the Cherries star. Bournemouth has already lost one defender this summer after Dean Huijsen came to Real Madrid for £ 50 million, but are ready to lose another of their most important men after a fantastic season.
