Florian Wirtz has said yes to a move to Liverpool with the Premier League champions prepared to offer one of their players in return as part of the deal with Bayer Leverkusen. 22-year-old Wirtz is one of the most-sought after players in Europe with the Reds sensationally emerging as the front-runners to secure his signature on Friday.
