Liverpool are set to win the race for a £40m England sensation after the highly sought-after star rejected a move to Newcastle United in dramatic fashion. The signing marks another statement of intent from the Reds as they reinforce their squad with young homegrown talent in a transfer window full of bold moves.
The Merseyside giants have moved like a gazelle in the transfer window this summer, and will continue to show the same level of deftness in their negotiations for players.
Florian Wirtz is about to join the club for a British record transfer fee, and the Reds are also set to sign Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth in the coming days.
Liverpool are closing in on a deal to sign an England centre-back who has been on the radar of Newcastle since last summer, but he is now set to move to Anfield.
