Wirtz latest

Revered transfer guru David Ornstein gave a promising update on the latest The Athletic FC Podcast, saying that Florian Wirtz "only has eyes for Liverpool."

"Where things are now is that this is progressing in the right direction," Ornstein said.

"The talks are ongoing, I think they’re now onto the stage of potential add-ons, the make-up of the deal, the bonuses, and how they would be achieved.

"So, it’s clearly at an advanced stage, but from what I hear, it’s not quite at the finish line yet.

But for Liverpool and their supporters, there’s reason to be optimistic.

I do think they’re going to get this deal done.

"Not only because they’re pushing so hard in the club-to-club negotiations, but also the desire of the player.

He has eyes only for Liverpool.

I do feel we’re getting towards a conclusion, and every indication is that Florian Wirtz is going to become a Liverpool player."
