Frimpong has already made the switch from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool, arriving in a deal worth £29.5million.

Less than a month after that was confirmed, Wirtz will make the same journey and join the Premier League champions in what will be the blockbuster transfer of the summer.

The German international is set for his medical with Arne Slot's side later this week after Liverpool finally reached an agreement to pay an initial £116m - potentially rising to £124.6m.



Should those clauses be triggered, the deal will smash the existing British transfer record set when Moises Caicedo joined Chelsea for £115m in 2023.

The formalities are still to be completed, with Wirtz expected to complete a medical on Friday before a formal announcement.

He had been expected to remain in the Bundesliga and move to Munich, only to decide on a move to the Premier League instead.

That decision hasn’t gone down well back in Germany, with rivals of all-conquering Bayern even admitting they would have liked to see him stay.

"It's a real shame, especially for the DFL (German Football League), that a player like Florian Wirtz is disappearing from the Bundesliga," Borussia Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke said earlier this week.

"I wouldn't have had a problem at all if he had gone to FC Bayern.

He could have played better with Musiala in Munich, but two such good footballers find each other anyway."

But the arrival of Wirtz is the latest step in Slot’s ambitious summer plan as he looks to build on a first season which saw him help Liverpool to their 20th top-flight title.
