Liverpool are ready to offer Wirtz a 'long-term' deal which is rumoured to be for at least five years until 2030. However, as per reports from Sky Sports, his salary will not be in excess of Liverpool's current top earners. The report claims his salary will be boosted to around £16.8m [$22.75m] per year which averages at £320,000 [$433,000] a week.

Florian Wirtz is closing in on a sensational transfer to Liverpool having agreed personal terms with the newly-crowned Premier League champions – a major blow for Manchester City as their number one target to replace the outgoing Kevin De Bruyne is close to joining their biggest title rivals.

Arsenal are also being linked with a shock move to secure the return of former goalkeeper Emi Martinez, who is also on Manchester United ’s radar along with Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta and Joao Pedro.

Liverpool have spared no expense in their agreement with Florian Wirtz after details began to filter through, and when the Reds expect to seal the deal with Bayer Leverkusen has also come to light.

The latest Liverpool transfer news as the Reds have been told that they could have a 'genius' on their hands if they sign Florian Wirtz.
