The summer plans at Liverpool have been thrown into disarray as a £4m exit for a club icon now appears inevitable. The low-fee transfer has left fans stunned and sparked fierce debate about the direction of the club despite the imminent arrival of a top superstar.
Liverpool fans are set to celebrate this week as Germany international midfielder Florian Wirtz is set to join the club for a potential British record transfer fee.
The club have already signed Jeremie Frimping, and are likely to finalise Milos Kerkez’s arrival with Bournemouth in the coming days as part of their transfer plans.
However, there is an air of discontent on Merseyside as well as a true Liverpool icon could exit the door at Anfield this summer if a top European club manage to convince him to move.

Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Andy Robertson, and the 31-year-old Scot is open to the move to the Spanish capital this summer.
The Spanish giants would prefer to pay no fee for the defender, and are set to open talks with Liverpool in the next 48 hours to finalise a transfer.
According to transfer journalist Krrish, the maximum Atletico Madrid are prepared to pay for Robertson’s departure from Anfield is a sum of around £4m.
Liverpool would be open to letting Robertson leave if that’s what he wants this summer, but they are not just ready to give him away for next to nothing.
The Reds want somewhere around £10m from his departure in the ongoing transfer window.
The left-back is seriously considering the offer from Atletico Madrid, and could agree to the transfer if he is offered a three or four-year deal and regular game time in the starting eleven.
