Bayern Munich director of sport Max Eberl has revealed that Liverpool priced the Bavarian giants out of a move for Florian Wirtz. The Bayer Leverkusen forward is set to become a club record signing for the Reds, with the nine-figure deal set to be completed in the coming days.

Andy Robertson has offered a glowing assessment of Liverpool transfer target Florian Wirtz and revealed his own chastening experience against the 22-year-old. The Reds have been negotiating a deal with Bayer Leverkusen for Wirtz for several weeks and are seemingly close to finalising a transfer.

The defending Premier League champions reportedly have "verbally agreed to a deal in principle with Bayer Leverkusen for a package reaching €150m ($171 million) add-ons included" to add Florian Wirtz this summer,
