Liverpool have been proactive in the ongoing transfer window and have chased down targets with precision and good planning. The legwork they have put in is set to come to fruition as the club are set to sign one of the best players in the world this summer.
Since winning the Premier League title last season, Liverpool have been relentless and have shown real intent and ambition in the transfer market this summer.
Arne Slot wants to take his squad to the next level, and the club are prepared to back him with a huge transfer warchest and good recruitment, led by sporting director Richard Hughes.
Liverpool have been working on several deals over the last few weeks, and it seems their biggest transfer of the summer is set to go through in the coming days.

Liverpool have been working on a deal to sign Florian Wirtz since last month, and have edged Bayern Munich and Manchester City out of the race.
The Bayer Leverkusen midfielder chose the Reds following a meeting with Hughes and Arne Slot in England last month, despite agreeing on a more lucrative contract with Bayern Munich.
The Merseyside giants have been trying to negotiate down Leverkusen’s asking price. Still, according to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have decided to fork out the money needed to get a deal over the line.
A verbal agreement is now in place between the two clubs, which would see Liverpool pay in excess of £126m for Wirtz’s signature.
It is a Premier League record fee, and the attacking midfielder will soon travel to England to undergo a medical and complete the formalities of a stunning transfer that no one saw coming even a month back.
