"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.

EXCLUSIVE: Wonderkid will join Liverpool first team in pre-season

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.
