Liverpool are gearing up for the biggest spending summer in their history as the transfer window re-opens to pave the way for Florian Wirtz to join

Liverpool will reportedly have to offer Luis Diaz a new bumper contract if they want to keep the Colombian forward this summer. The Colombian forward has long been linked with a move to Barcelona, and has previously made no secret of his admiration for the La Liga champions.

Wirtz had grown up in a family that refused to compromise his development, nor that of his sister Juliane, who plays for Werder Bremen. His father Hans remains the chairman of Grun-Weiss Brauweiler, Wirtz's childhood was framed around the local football team. He grew up with a ball attached to his feet.
