Jurgen Klopp has warned new Liverpool star Florian Wirtz that his £116million price tag will put a target on his back.

Klopp's former club will pay Leverkusen a fixed £100m plus £16m in potential add-ons.

Despite describing Wirtz as an 'outstanding player', the ex-Reds boss can't help but baulk at the fee.



In an interview with German newspaper Welt, Klopp said: "There's no question about it, it's an insane sum, and one that a player at Liverpool is aware of if things don't go well for two or three games.

"We all agree that we're talking about a great player here.

"I don't know exactly which position Arne (Slot) has Florian in mind for," Klopp noted.

"He's an outstanding player who can give any club something great.

They've signed an exceptional talent in Florian Wirtz."
