Liverpool have increased their offer for Florian Wirtz to £113m in an attempt to seal a club record deal for the Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder.

The Premier League champions had a £109m bid for the Germany international rejected last weekend but, after further talks between the two clubs, have submitted a new package that would guarantee Leverkusen £100m plus £13m in add-ons. The offer, however, still falls short of the German club’s £126m valuation and Liverpool appear unwilling to meet their asking price.
