Liverpool has delivered a huge statement of intent after winning the Premier League title by signing Germany star Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes has opened up on the transfer negotiations that led to Florian Wirtz's club-record move to Liverpool

Wirtz, who scored 57 goals in 197 Leverkusen appearances, is Liverpool's second major signing of the summer and the club's second from the Bundesliga runners-up following the arrival of Dutch right-back Jeremie Frimpong for £29.5m last month.
