Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz for £100 million after beating Bayern Munich in the transfer race.

Florian Wirtz's decision to perform a U-turn on an apparent agreement to join Bayern Munich and join Liverpool has drawn some unexpected criticism.

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has hit back at his own player, Joshua Kimmich, over comments he made about Florian Wirtz 's impending transfer to Liverpool. The 22-year-old made his preference of the English champions over the German heavyweights clear - paving the way for a £116m agreement.
