Fabrizio Romano got the headlines on Tuesday evening as he broke news of Liverpool agreeing a deal with Bayer Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz. That's the one everyone has been waiting on.

"Florian Wirtz to Liverpool, HERE WE GO!" he wrote on Twitter. "Liverpool verbally agree deal in principle with Bayer Leverkusen for package reaching €150m add-ons included.
"Player side already agreed two weeks ago with move now imminent.
"Wirtz set for medical and contract signing."
Now, admittedly, there are conflicting reports there. Other journalists claim a deal isn't quite done, though all agree that things are close and it should go through.
Just a little bit more waiting, then - and we might even see another deal happen in the meantime.

Milos Kerkez is close
Romano explained on YouTube that now Liverpool are at the very least close to a deal for Wirtz, attention can turn to Milos Kerkez. The Reds are set for a final round of talks for the left-back that should get a deal done.
"I'm told this deal can happen very soon," said Romano. "One more round of talks expected - I mean one final round of talks between Liverpool and Bournemouth to close this deal."
Liverpool have chased Kerkez for a while now, having started preliminary talks back in November. That was Anfield Watch exclusive and things have moved along nice since then.
The Reds essentially want their long-term successor to Andy Robertson. Kostas Tsimikas won't be that and the Greek defender may move on this summer.
Kerkez is the choice to replace him after a fantastic campaign with Bournemouth last season. As Romano says, this one really shouldn't run for much longer.
