But according to football journalist, Sacha Tavolieri, Wirtz is now just one step away from joining the Anfield outfit.
Mere days ago it was revealed that Manchester City had pulled of the race to sign the Bayer Leverkusen ace over concerns about the overall cost of the deal potentially reaching a figure of £252million.
However, numbers involved in the deal have not deterred German champions Bayern Munich or English champions Liverpool.

Pictured: Bath's celebrations prove that rugby union still has characters
There is a perception that rugby union no longer has the characters of yesteryear, stifled by the advent of professionalism. It is fair to say that Bath 's players, and owner, sought to put that notion to bed on a raucous Sunday night in the West Country. This was a celebration featuring budgie smugglers, wadges of £20 notes and copious amounts of alcohol, and it was very well deserved. It had been 29 years since Bath had last been English domestic champions but they ended that dismal run with a 23-21 victory over Leicester Tigers at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, putting the seal on one of the all-time great seasons. The Gallagher Premiership victory completed a treble, with the Premiership Rugby Cup and European Challenge Cup already in the trophy cabinet. And, with the silverware secure, Bath were determined to party in style – and they did, with a couple of well-known figures to the fore. Barbeary puts it all on show It is difficult to start with anyone other than Alfie Barbeary. The former Wasp is clearly not short on confidence, and having been at the centre of celebrations at Twickenham on Saturday he continued in similar fashion on Sunday. The Bath-branded budgie smugglers may be the stocking filler fans did not know they needed, but it feels particularly unusual to have paired the swimwear with white socks and smart black shoes. Everyone – including team-mate Tom de Glanville and assorted fans – wanted pictures taken with Barbeary, and frankly who can blame them? Russell gets his payment direct from Craig Fly-half Finn Russell is believed to earn £1 million a year, but no-one in Bath would argue he is not worth every penny after his display in Saturday's final. That would no doubt include owner Bruce Craig, who finally got his hands on the reward he deserved after years of bankrolling Bath without winning major trophies. And the money men did not seem short of cash on Sunday afternoon, with Russell happily waving around a wadge of £20 notes in front of Craig on the bus around town. Either way, it certainly seemed money well spent. Obano gets stuck in Along with high spirits there were alcoholic spirits on show, with prop Beno Obano holding what appeared to be a nearly finished bottle of cognac on the pitch at the Recreation Ground during the celebrations. No wonder he was celebrating; Obano was sent-off in last year's Premiership final, though that nightmare has now been exorcised. Bath comes alive Is there a more picturesque city in England for a victory parade than Bath? Probably not, particularly on a gorgeous sunny day with thousands on the streets. The open-top bus parade looked quite the picture, with captain Ben Spencer and Johann van Graan, the head coach, leading the well-deserved celebrations that showed Bath's characters off to the full.

Liverpool chiefs fear Trent Alexander-Arnold repeat as Real Madrid eye new deal
Real Madrid have signed Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool this summer and are now reportedly looking to line up a move for one of his former teammates next summer Real Madrid are reportedly plotting a swoop for another Liverpool star after signing Trent Alexander-Arnold. The England international joined Madrid after running down his contract at Anfield, with the LaLiga giants paying £10million to release him from his deal early so he could feature at the Club World Cup. Madrid have signed a number of players in similar situations to Alexander-Arnold in recent years, which has allowed them to avoid shelling out huge transfer fees. Kylian Mbappe joined on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, while David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger also signed from Bayern Munich and Chelsea respectively after their deals expired. And according to a new report from Spanish outlet Marca, Madrid are looking to repeat this trick again with Alexander-Arnold's former Liverpool teammate Ibrahima Konate. The centre-back's current deal is due to expire in 2026 and he is yet to agree terms over an extension. The report claims that Konate has 'already started the countdown on his contract' and has rejected Liverpool's latest offer of a new deal, with club chiefs fearing a repeat of the Alexander-Arnold saga. Konate spoke out about his future after Liverpool's final Premier League game last month, admitting he is unsure what will happen. "You know, I just want to say one thing: Everything you saw on social media is completely fake," he said. "I didn't even ask for something from the club. They made me an offer, and I replied to them with something, that is it. The rest (speculation) that I want to wait until the end...I want this, all of it is completely fake. "And even the big journalists said in November I am very close to signing the deal. I was like: 'Ah, they have more information than me!?' Because it was not true at that moment and that is why I was a little bit mad because it was not true at this moment. "I knew at one moment people would think I didn't want to sign the contract but I was never close to signing it. We will see what will happen. First thing, I am very happy because we have won the Premier League trophy and we lifted it today. "We have to enjoy it, have a rest and hopefully next season will be better than this. I didn't expect the [contract] question this way! (laughs) But you are smart, you're smart. To be fair, to win a trophy, even when I won my first trophy with Liverpool, the FA Cup, was just amazing. "And today, to win the Premier League, I know I have a lot of objectives with this club: to become a leader, to win everything. I am very happy here to be fair, you know. But I know where you want to go with this question and this is another conversation with the club and my agent, we will see what will happen in the next few weeks or I don't know when but we will see, let me say that. "Progressing? Not really but my agent met the club last week but I don't know what will happen. I cannot say what my agent said to me but yeah, we will see what will happen."
