Florian Wirtz could become the most expensive player in the history of British football when he joins Liverpool.

And Moises Caicedo, the man who currently holds that accolade, is not fussed to be losing the title though.

The Reds have agreed a deal with Bayer Leverkusen to sign Wirtz for what could eventually be a £116 million fee.



Caicedo signed for Chelsea two years ago in a deal worth £115 million.

The Ecuadorian is currently away with his team at the Club World Cup.

"It's good (that Wirtz could cost £1 million more than him), it's good."

"Yeah he's a great player.

So I'm happy to hear he's [coming] to the Premier League."

Liverpool were initially in the race to sign Caicedo with Chelsea a couple of years ago and saw a £111 million bid accepted by Brighton & Hove Albion.

The playmaker eventually opted to move to the London club though.

After a challenging first season, Caicedo recaptured some form in his second Chelsea term and was named as the team's Player of the Year.

Liverpool missing out on Caicedo eventually opened up an opportunity for Ryan Gravenberch to play as the team's deep-sitting midfielder, a role in which he excelled last season as the team won the Premier League title.

Wirtz will operate in more attacking positions when he arrives.
