As fans awaited confirmation of the deal on social media platform X, a post was shared from Liverpool's official account which was a video of Alisson Becker enjoying a barbecue with his family.

While the clip was undeniably wholesome, Reds fans were hoping for a different kind of post — one which confirmed Wirtz's arrival!

A third said: "Shouldn't you guys be announcing Wirtz already?"

Wirtz is edging closer to being confirmed as a new Liverpool player, and he is understood to have passed his medical earlier on Friday.

The Germany ace is set to sign for the Reds for a fee that could reach $157 million (£116 million).

Leverkusen had been holding out for more for its star man, but the Reds agreed on a package that doesn't initially represent a British record fee

It is, though, the highest that Liverpool has ever paid for a player.

According to Sky Germany, Wirtz completed the necessary medical tests for the move to take place, with an official announcement about the move expected imminently.

"I think he’s the best player (Germany has) got," former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann said on the Aldo Meets podcast this week

"Obviously he won’t be cheap, but I think he’s a player who makes other players better.

"[Fellow Germany international Jamal] Musiala likes to dribble, he likes to play on his own

But Wirtz is somebody, because if you look at the team now, Frimpong, I think he’s valued at 40 million, he’s coming for, he came to Leverkusen for probably half the money."
