Ally McCoist has expressed his reservations regarding the idea of Liverpool splashing out a record fee for Florian Wirtz.

The Reds have reportedly singled out the German midfielder as a prime transfer target, with Bayern Munich also in contention for his signature.

As Bayer Leverkusen is holding out for upwards of $160 million for the 22 year old talent, Liverpool faces the prospect of obliterating its previous transfer record – the $115 million forked out for Darwin Nunez in 2022.



Ally McCoist is not sure Liverpool should be spending such a huge amount on Florian Wirtz.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich remains contenders and is believed to be confident about outbidding Liverpool for his services.

Even if Wirtz is keen on a Premier League challenge, the cost of the deal – considering wages, agent fees, and bonuses – could pose a significant obstacle for Liverpool

With Salah and Van Dijk renewing their contracts, the club now has more flexibility to allocate funds to other areas of the squad.

Whether Liverpool choose to make a headline-grabbing move for Wirtz or pursue a more measured recruitment approach is yet to be seen
