Florian Wirtz has been selected to start for Germany in their Nations League third-place play-off against France today (Sunday) as transfer negotiations continue between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen.

Liverpool have made a second bid for Florian Wirtz, raising their offer to a club record £113m. Bayer Leverkusen are believed to want £150m for the Germany international, who would prefer a move to Anfield. Liverpool’s initial proposal came to £109m, including add-ons, but they have now submitted an improved offer with a greater guarantee of £100m.

Philipp Lahm thinks Florian Wirtz is the perfect signing for Liverpool this summer amid links to the Premier League champions.
