Wirtz's arrival was confirmed as the Reds broke their transfer record by securing a £116 million agreement for the German international, following the completion of deals for Jeremie Frimpong and Armin Pecsi. As Arne Slot expands his defence options with yet another face, Milos Kerkez is set to be the next acquisition. Given that Marc Guehi has become a real target in recent days, the defence may still see further arrivals. After several months of being linked to a move to Merseyside, the Crystal Palace defender's interest seems to have advanced significantly this week.
According to reports, Liverpool is "very close" to reaching a personal agreement with the England international as they proceed with a potential deal for Guehi. The Reds are eager to "move quickly," according to a TEAMtalk story, as Inter Milan and Newcastle United are also mentioned as bidders for the 2025 FA Cup winner.
