Liverpool are reportedly able to afford deals for top targets Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak that could both exceed £100m.
The Reds are set for a big summer on the recruitment front and have already moved for a Trent Alexander-Arnold replacement. Jeremie Frimpong is close to being confirmed as a Red in a £30m deal and might not arrive from Bayer Leverkusen alone.
Wirtz, 22, could join him on Merseyside amid reports suggesting he's been looking at houses in England ahead of a potential move. He could be one of two blockbuster arrivals with Isak, 25, their ideal number nine acquisition and the Newcastle United striker is thought to be intrigued by an Anfield switch.

Graeme Bailey reports (via Rousing the Kop) that Liverpool will have "little trouble" paying the required fees for Wirtz and Isak this summer. Both deals are expected to cost way above £100m but there is "confidence" that the club can fund both transfers because expected sales reach upwards of £150m.
Thanks to breathing room on the PSR front, one big-money signing can be made without needing to make a sale. That could be Wirtz, who was "greatly impressed" by the club's project and proposal made to him to become a centrepiece in Arne Slot's side.
Bayer Leverkusen are demanding around £126m for the German attacking midfielder and the Reds may have to beat Bayern Munich to his signature. Manchester City pulled out of the race because they were put off by the reported overall package of £250m.

Isak isn't quite as closely linked to Anfield amid Newcastle's eagerness to get him to stay and extend his contract. Arsenal are also admirers of the "world-class" Swede, who could cost £127m, and GMS sources understand the Magpies are aware he warrants a new deal that sees him make over £200,000 per week.
The former Real Sociedad man - described as the "best striker in the world" - has been in red-hot form this season, posting 23 goals in 33 Premier League games. He was on target in a 2-1 win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final in February.
