Florian Wirtz has shared three wordless messages after Liverpool submitted a club-record bid to sign the Bayer Leverkusen star. The Reds have been heavily linked with signing the Germany international - in what would be a club and potentially Premier League-record deal.
Liverpool recently submitted a £113million bid to try and sign Wirtz this summer. Talks remain underway between the Reds and Leverkusen as the Anfield outfit look to reach an agreement for the 22-year-old.
Part of the offer includes an initial fee worth £100million, with the remaining £13million coming from performance-related add-ons. However, there have been suggestions that Leverkusen value Wirtz at a fee closer to £126million.
Amid speculation around Wirtz's future, the playmaker is currently with Germany's squad amid preparations for their impending Nations League play-off match vs France.
That comes in the third-place decider on Sunday - after losing to Portugal in their semi-final.
Ahead of the match-up on Sunday, Wirtz has posted a message on social media. On his Instagram story, the Leverkusen star posted two photos of himself during a training session - followed by a brief video of himself performing some tricks in training.
It remains to be seen what involvement Wirtz will have for Germany on Sunday ahead of a potential transfer to Liverpool. The game against France will be the final one before Wirtz will have a summer break.
Where Wirtz will be going for pre-season, though, remains to be seen - with Liverpool and Leverkusen still yet to agree a deal for the Bundesliga's reigning Player of the Year.
Bayern Munich and Manchester City have also previously been linked with signing highly-rated Wirtz, before the Reds then emerged as favourites to agree a deal last month.
