Promotion: Tony Pulis doesn't rule out Wrexham going up
That is the view of Tony Pulis who believes nothing is impossible at The Racecourse. The Reds finished runners-up in League One last term to go straight up to the Championship where they will line-up for the first time in 43 years. Having made history by clinching back-to-back-to-back promotions, with the club climbing from the National League to the second tier at a rapid rate, Wrexham will make the biggest step-up yet when they come up against the likes of Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton. But former Premier League manager Pulis says Parkinson knows that is needed in this division, where he managed Bolton Wanderers, and refuses to discount Wrexham. Pulis told BoyleSports, who offer the latest football odds, "Phil Parkinson has experience of Championship football. He'll understand what's needed. "To get three promotions, I don't care what anybody says, to get three promotions on the bounce is just exceptional. "They are in such a positive place at the moment, the crowd are behind them massively and they'll have to be next year as well because the level moves up again, but nothing is impossible. "The fans will really get behind them and it's going to be an interesting league next year. Very, very interesting. "It'll be interesting to see what Wrexham do and what they can achieve."

Liverpool give £100m Wirtz guarantee but three issues remain to seal transfer
Liverpool have run out of time to sign Florian Wirtz during the first summer transfer window but the Reds remain close to sealing a deal for the Bayer Leverkusen star Liverpool will pay £100m guaranteed to sign Florian Wirtz as the Reds look to close a deal for the Bayer Leverkusen star. But they remain locked in talks with the Bundesliga club over add-ons, the structure of the transfer and payments as no agreement is finalised. Wirtz, 22, has not yet been given permission to travel for a medical yet and nothing has been arranged. Liverpool submitted a third bid for the Germany international last week and, although it did not meet Leverkusen's valuation, it was not rejected. It was an offer of £100m plus £14m in add-ons. Talks have been ongoing between the clubs since it was lodged. Liverpool remain adamant in the talks that they will not pay the £127m (€150m) asking price and are continuing discussions over the total amount of add-ons and how they would be structured. Any deal above Liverpool's third offer would break the British transfer record, which is the £115m Chelsea spent to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton in August 2023. As of Tuesday night, there was no agreement between the clubs on add-ons or the deal structure and talks are ongoing.

Wirtz is keen to make the move to Merseyside after holding discussions with Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Liverpool's Premier League rivals moved on to sign Rayan Cherki from Lyon in a £35m deal. Cherki, 21, was also on Liverpool's list of targets but their preference was Wirtz and that is the transfer they have focused on since the Germany star indicated his preference over his next move. Liverpool remain in contact with Bournemouth over left back Milos Kerkez. The full-back missed Hungary's defeat by Sweden on Friday night due to a minor injury and left the camp before Tuesday's clash against Azerbaijan. The Cherries want £45m for Kerkez but Liverpool sporting director, Richard Hughes, has been trying to negotiate a lower fee with his former club.

Liverpool's Florian Wirtz deal could have implications amid Milos Kerkez update
Liverpool are hoping to conclude deals to sign Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz and Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez once the summer transfer window re-opens Liverpool are putting their foot down in the summer transfer window as they target the signings of Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez. The summer transfer window may have paused after an initial 10-day opening for business, but the Reds are keeping busy around the negotiating table. Jeremie Frimpong has already arrived at Anfield, in addition to 20-year-old goalkeeper Armin Pecsi and Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will soon to join up with the Reds after a deal was agreed last summer with Valencia. And Arne Slot's side are not happy to stop there, with some big deals still in the pipeline. Liverpool remain locked in talks with Bayer Leverkusen over the signing of Wirtz, with a fourth and final offer worth around £118million expected to be concluded soon. Leverkusen have driven a hard bargain over their star player, but it still looks likely the deal will go through once the window re-opens on June 16. Meanwhile, Kerkez is also edging towards Merseyside, with a £45m move from Bournemouth on the cards. For all the latest on Liverpool and their transfer dealings, just scroll down. Wirtz knock-on effect Liverpool are committing a huge amount of money to sign Wirtz and it is likely to have implications. The signing of a new attacking star raises question marks over the current crop of players, including Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz. But while the Reds are keen to sell Nunez for the right price, they are understood to be keen to keep Diaz, who has two years left on his contract. Nevertheless, the links with Barcelona are continuing. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan giants are set to go 'all out' for the Colombian over the coming months after abandoning a move for Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams. It is suggested that they believe Liverpool might be more open to selling later in the window to recoup the funds spent Frimpong and Wirtz. Kerkez replacement found Bournemouth have agreed a deal to sign a replacement for Kerkez, removing one of the stumbling blocks for a summer move. Stade Rennes left-back Adrien Truffert is poised to join the Cherries for £14.4m to become Kerkez's like-for-like replacement. They have beaten Nottingham Forest and Marseille to the 23-year-old's signature in a move which will please Liverpool bosses. Sporting director Richard Hughes has been leading talks with Simon Francis over a deal for Kerkez, which is still expected to go through. Bournemouth won't stand in the way of the Hungary international, but want £45m for his signature. Kerkez withdrew from Hungary duty last week for 'personal reasons' and is keen to get the deal done. Liverpool's interest in Alvarez confirmed Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has issued a hands-off warning to clubs sniffing around star striker Julian Alvarez. Atleti paid £80m to sign the Argentina international from Manchester City last summer and were rewarded with a great debut season. Now Simeone has moved to protect his asset, telling La Nacion: "It's logical, I can't imagine any other scenario. Julian is 25 years old, he's an extraordinary player, with hunger, with enthusiasm, with humility, with work, with goals, with status. "How could everyone not want him? And Barcelona, PSG, Arsenal, Liverpool… the best have to want him. And for us, Atletico fans, it should be a source of pride that everyone wants him. "Why? Because he's ours. And since he's ours, we have to take care of him. We have to help him feel happy. How will he feel happy? By winning. And to get there, we all have to give 110 per cent. And not just for him, of course, but for everyone." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
