The Sky Germany journalist reported via his personal X account that, if a deal is struck, Liverpool may be able to offer one of their players in the deal to get his price down.

The journalist goes on to say that the Bundesliga outfit are looking for either a goalkeeper, centre-back or a striker.

Perhaps one of the more obvious players for Liverpool to offer up would be Caoimhin Kelleher.

Which, after what’s happened with Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool this season, is likely a situation that the Reds will want to avoid, especially with a player of Kelleher’s calibre.

The defender is still only 22 years old and has plenty of time to develop into a star but at the moment, Wirtz would certainly offer more to the club than what Quansah is.

Indeed, these are all just ifs, buts and maybes at the moment, but with the amount of noise surrounding Wirtz and Liverpool at the moment, it feels like it’s a matter of when, not if.
