Wirtz would be a dream signing for many Liverpool fans, with the German likely to leave Leverkusen.

Providing an update on YouTube on Tuesday, the Daily Mail‘s Lewis Steele claimed that the “noises are positive” about the Reds snapping up the German.

He adds that he has a “sneaky feeling” about Liverpool completing a stunning big-money move for the 21-year-old, having “presented their case” to him.

That said, Steele does state that Bayern Munich are still “favourites” to sign Wirtz, as he weighs up whether to join a direct rival or test himself in the Premier League.

The Germany international would be a game-changer of a signing for Liverpool and the £125 million mooted would smash their transfer record!

Arne Slot believes Federico Chiesa offered more than could be expected on his first Premier League start in last night’s 3-2 defeat at Brighton. Does he have a Reds future?

More from This Is Anfield



A reminder to read David Lynch‘s talking points for This Is Anfield from the loss to Brighton, including a differing opinion on Chiesa’s performance:

“Slot perhaps surprisingly suggested ahead of this game that Federico Chiesa might have a future at Liverpool, and took the even more surprising decision to actually pick him.

“But it remains hard to see how the Italian has a future after his first Premier League start went as could be expected given his lack of involvement.

“Chiesa managed 12 touches, five passes, one blocked shot and lost seven duels during his time on the pitch.

“No matter what Slot says, surely the player won’t be happy to have a similar season next time around, and neither will Liverpool be fighting hard to keep him this summer.”

Liverpool FC: On this day

On this day in 1989, Liverpool won the FA Cup for the fourth time in their history.

The Reds beat Everton 3-2 after extra-time at Wembley, with John Aldridge opening the scoring for Kenny Dalglish‘s side and Ian Rush netting twice.

Both Rush and Everton midfielder Stuart McCall became the first-ever substitutes to score twice in an FA Cup final.

It was an emotional afternoon as the whole of Merseyside descended on Wembley, just over a month after the Hillsborough disaster on April 15, 1989.
