Liverpool are putting their foot down in the summer transfer window as they target the signings of Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez.
The summer transfer window may have paused after an initial 10-day opening for business, but the Reds are keeping busy around the negotiating table.
Jeremie Frimpong has already arrived at Anfield, in addition to 20-year-old goalkeeper Armin Pecsi and Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will soon to join up with the Reds after a deal was agreed last summer with Valencia.
Leverkusen have driven a hard bargain over their star player, but it still looks likely the deal will go through once the window re-opens on June 16.
Meanwhile, Kerkez is also edging towards Merseyside, with a £45m move from Bournemouth on the cards.

Liverpool are committing a huge amount of money to sign Wirtz and it is likely to have implications.
It is suggested that they believe Liverpool might be more open to selling later in the window to recoup the funds spent Frimpong and Wirtz.

Bournemouth have agreed a deal to sign a replacement for Kerkez, removing one of the stumbling blocks for a summer move.
Kerkez withdrew from Hungary duty last week for 'personal reasons' and is keen to get the deal done.
