Bayer are prepared to sell, but are insisting on a record fee to part with Wirtz, states German sources.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting: “Liverpool first official bid for Florian Wirtz in excess of €100m package with add-ons has been received by Bayer Leverkusen.

“Club to club negotiations underway, restarting today to get the deal done very soon.

“Wirtz already told Bayer that he only wants Liverpool.”
