The Merseyside giants are expected to be one of the biggest spenders in the market this summer, but the club are also keen to ensure their best players stay put. A top Liverpool star is now set to reject a transfer move away in favour of continuing his adventure on Merseyside.
Liverpool have shown major ambition this summer and are trying to pull off a transfer heist by signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in the ongoing transfer window.
The club have other alternative targets, but Wirtz is the player they want, and football CEO Michael Edwards is leading the negotiations with the German club.
The Merseyside giants are also keen to ensure that they keep their best players at Anfield, and a title hero is now close to committing his long-term future to the club.

Liverpool star set to snub transfer option for Anfield stay
Liverpool have been worried about losing Ibrahima Konate as, for months, there was no progress in talks over a new deal, with his current contract expiring at the end of next season.
Real Madrid have been actively encouraging him to run down his contract and join the Spanish giants on a free transfer next year.
However, according to Liverpool Echo’s Blood Red podcast, the defender is now confident of staying at Anfield despite the contract situation.
His agent has had more positive conversations with the club, and there has been progress in the talks over a new deal for the defender.
The Frenchman wants the new contract to show that he is one of the best defenders in the Premier League, if not Europe.
Arne Slot does not want to lose him, and it seems Liverpool are closing in on an agreement with the player and his agents.
