LIVERPOOL are in a race against time to seal the £126million record signing of Florian Wirtz before he joins up with Germany.
Bayer Leverkusen star Wirtz is due to report for international duty tomorrow ahead of the Nations League semi-final with Portugal next Wednesday.
The attacking midfielder wants a deal agreed before he heads off.
But the Germans will not go below their £126m valuation, a British record deal from a foreign club.
Leverkusen turned down Liverpool’s opening bid of £86m plus add-ons earlier this week.
They want £20m more up front, plus clauses to take it up to £126m.
Wirtz, 22, is thought to have agreed personal terms on a five-year deal.
Leverkusen team-mate Jeremie Frimpong flew to the UK on Tuesday for a medical ahead of his own £29.6m move to Anfield.
Frimpong has emerged as the chosen man to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield.
The boyhood Red played his last game for the club on Sunday ahead of his exit.
Alexander-Arnold is set to join Real Madrid in a free transfer, with Los Blancos hoping to finalise the deal before the Club World Cup.
The full-back will join former Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Alonso was appointed as the new Real Madrid boss last week.
He signed a three-year deal upon his arrival and will officially take control on June 1.
Real Madrid face Al-Hilal in their first Club World Cup match next month.

This guy is not worthy for that big money. He’s overated for nothing. I will prefer we use that £100 else where and get a defended and central midfielder Carlo Baleba from Brighton and or even cherki from Lyon
We need skillful players to play UCL

The amount of money is ridiculous for the position that's not really lacking completely,because no.10 already has Szoboszlai, Elliot, and even Jones can play there, Diago Jota can also play in there. £84 million should be enough without adds on and instead spend the rest on no.9 🙄 😏
are u technical

Sometimes, our opinions we should know don't count. Do u know what fees are for? Or probably u just name a price u feel is ok to buy u two cups of garri.

I just hope this money is going to be worth spending on just a single guy
You spent almost 80 million on Darwin Nunez, or he was 2 players? 😂😂

Is he worth the money they’re asking
Worth every penny bro. He is a delight to watch. Honestly speaking if not for Barcelona's financial crisis, he would have been a perfect fit for them. But I see him pulling up for either Barca or Madrid in the future. Liverpool is just a launchpad
