Liverpool looks to be edging closer to a deal for Florian Wirtz, and Hansi Flick told the Reds all they need to know long before a potential move to Anfield was in the works

Florian Wirtz has hit out at speculation that he wants to take the No10 shirt at Liverpool.

"At the Reds, Alexis Mac Allister currently wears the number 10. LFC are very optimistic about reaching an agreement with Bayer 04 soon. Unless a Liverpool player is included in the deal, Leverkusen are demanding a fee of up to €140–150m."
