Florian Wirtz knows what it is to be a wanted man. And now, six years after catching the eye of some of the game's biggest clubs, Wirtz is making the second high profile, contentious move of his career.

Liverpool have agreed to sign Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz in a deal that could rise to a British transfer record fee of £116m, sources told ESPN.
