The German international is expected to soon complete a transfer to Anfield from Bayer Leverkusen.

Wirtz is set to sign a contract with the Reds until 2030 as Liverpool complete a British record transfer.

And they will take a healthy cut in the deal as a result for their role.

Sport Bild, per Sport Witness, claim they will see €10m (£8.55m) over the course of their son's contract with Liverpool.

Wirtz is set to undergo his medical on Friday after taking a quick holiday following his time on international duty for Germany in the UEFA Nations League.

The playmaker will follow in the footsteps of Liverpool signing Jeremie Frimpong in making the move, and shared a picture of the duo on a boat.

"We just want good players and ideally you sign them as soon as you can," he said.

"But it's not always easy to sign good players, let alone to sign them early in the window.

But this club doesn't start working from today onwards.

"There is so much hard work being done behind the scenes already this season to find out which targets we have and try to sign them.

I have all the confidence that if we've addressed the right player that we try to sign that player."
