Liverpool have sent shockwaves through the Premier League by launching a £100m raid for a star attacker that’s left Newcastle reeling. The Reds are now closing in on a top star long admired on Tyneside — and the timing couldn’t be more dramatic as the rivalry heats up between the two clubs.
The Merseyside giants have shown this summer that they have finally developed the appetite to spend big sums on transfer fees this summer with their pursuit of Florian Wirtz.
The Bayer Leverkusen midfielder is set to join the Premier League champions this summer for a £100m upfront sum, which is already a club-record fee, and it could rise up to £116m, making it the British transfer record.
However, it seems the German won’t be the last £100m player Liverpool are chasing this summer as another attacker could end up at Anfield next season for a similar sum.

Liverpool set to sign £100m attacker from Newcastle
Newcastle are likely to win the battle to keep Alexander Isak at Anfield despite Liverpool still trying to find an opening for him this summer.
However, according to the Sun, the Premier League champions are now determined to snare away Anthony Gordon from St. James’ Park this summer.
Gordon was close to joining Liverpool last summer and was disappointed after Newcastle pulled out of a deal to sell him at the last moment.
The former Everton winger wants to return to Merseyside, and Arne Slot remains very keen to add him to his squad this summer.
Newcastle do not want to sell him, but Liverpool are prepared to test their resolve by offering big money for the winger in the ongoing transfer window.
It has been claimed that the Merseyside giants are ready to offer up to £100m for Gordon this summer.
