The verbal agreement was completed earlier, and the club are now negotiating over the transfer fee for the midfielder.

Despite Wirtz’s transfer fee possibly crossing €130 million, the Reds are also trying to bring in Bournemouth fullback Milos Kerkez for around €45 million.

The club have already spent €30 million on the Dutch right-back and might need to spend nearly €200 million to complete the Wirtz-Kerkez deals and bring them to Anfield.

These heavy spending commitments could be the reason Liverpool are considering selling multiple players this summer.

They’ve already sold Irish goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher to Brentford for an €18 million deal, according to reports via journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Darwin Nunez is also on Liverpool’s selling list, as they’ve reportedly marked him for sale this summer.

Former Juventus forward Federico Chiesa also might leave Anfield this summer.

Reports earlier this week suggested that Luis Diaz could also leave Liverpool.

His partner recently posted a cryptic message on Instagram, and reports say both Al Nassr and Barcelona are considering the Colombian as a top target this summer.

According to TeamTALK, Liverpool are now considering Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon as a potential replacement if Luis Diaz leaves the club this summer.

Liverpool were very close to signing the English winger last year.

Arne Slot also liked the winger and wanted him in red last year, but the deal didn’t happen.

Now, the Merseyside club are considering him again due to the potential departure of the Colombian winger.

If Diaz leaves, Gordon might be the perfect choice for the Dutch mastermind on the left flank.

The deal fully depends on the price tag and how much the club spends this summer, as their current focus remains on the Wirtz deal.
