Liverpool do not have long to wait before they can go into the transfer market for new signings.

The summer transfer window opens in just a few weeks, and already, there have been plenty of rumours crediting the Reds with several new signings.

Bayer Leverkusen duo Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz have both been mentioned as possible targets for Liverpool over the last few days, and the speculation is only likely to ramp up as the transfer window approaches.

On the pitch, Liverpool may already be confirmed as Premier League champions, but will get their hands on the trophy on Sunday following the clash against Crystal Palace at Anfield in their final match of the season.

An update has emerged on the future of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz.

The Germany international has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield in recent days, while Bayern Munich and Manchester City have also been mentioned as potential destinations.

TBR Football has reported that Slot himself has given the green light for Liverpool to try and complete the signing of Wirtz this summer.

However, it remains to be seen if a deal will be agreed to bring the 22-year-old to Anfield.

The report claims that Slot's desire to have Wirtz at Liverpool next season is down to him looking to replace the creativity left by Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure.
