At the moment, Wirtz is on international duty with Germany, and ahead of their game against Portugal on 4 June, Nagelsmann was asked about how the 22-year-old seems to be handling things.

I think that’s part of it.”

Not only has Nagelsmann outlined that the German will be playing so Liverpool fans can get a taste of what they’re buying, but it also feels like he’s more or less confirmed that the transfer is going ahead after he said the transfer was “imminent.”

Wirtz’s future has been a hot topic at Liverpool ever since it was revealed that his services would be up for grabs this summer.

A plethora of teams have been linked with an interest, but in the end, it’s Liverpool who have come out on top.

Many different reports have been shared regarding what stage of the negotiations both parties are in, but after what Nagelsmann said, it feels like a move for Wirtz could be on the cards as soon as international duty is over.
