More ambitious than ever before under FSG in the transfer market, Liverpool may now offer a play-plus-cash deal to sign yet another key target for Arne Slot.
Jurgen Klopp delivers "insane" Wirtz verdict
Slot has been given the keys to the kingdom so far this summer with his Premier League medal acting as his right of passage. Jeremie Frimpong became the first to arrive to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold before the Reds then took things to an entirely new level by signing Florian Wirtz. Since then, Milos Kerkez has also arrived alongside third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman.
It's the type of spending spree that Jurgen Klopp only saw once during his time at Anfield when Liverpool signed Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk and Fabinho in the space of six months before winning both the Champions League and Premier League.

Liverpool may need to enforce further change up top this summer.
The German, having seen the impact of top signings at the club in the past - albeit not without the sacrifice of Philippe Coutinho - recently had his say on Wirtz's big-money arrival.
Klopp told reporters: "There's no question about it, it's an insane sum. One that a player at Liverpool is aware of if things don't go well for two or three games.
"We all agree that we're talking about a great player here. I know I once said that I'm out if we pay 100 million euros for a player. But the world is changing. That's just the way the market is.
Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz
"He's an outstanding player who can give any club something great. Whether he'll make the reigning English champions even better remains to be seen."
Even after spending that "insane sum", however, those at Anfield may not be done with their spending. Reports are now suggesting that Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes could even decide to offer a swap deal to land one particular target.
Liverpool "could" offer swap deal to sign Guehi
According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool "could" offer a player-plus-cash deal to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace this summer. The England international has found himself on the Reds' radar following reports that Jarell Quansah is set to join Bayer Leverkusen and amid concerns that Ibrahima Konate could leave following the end of his current deal next summer.
With fresh talks set to take place this week, Guehi remains one to watch as Liverpool aim to solve a potential centre-back problem in bargain fashion.
With just one year remaining on his current contract, Crystal Palace are reportedly demanding just £45m to sell their star defender this summer. Liverpool, however, are still looking for that valuation to drop before making their move to sign Guehi as Edwards and Hughes continue their ruthless streak.
Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi
Described as "great" by England teammate John Stones at the Euros last summer, Guehi's first move back to a top English club since leaving Chelsea has been a long time coming, but now he could be on his way to the home of the Premier League champions.
