Liverpool fans have a conspiracy theory as to why Florian Wirtz hasn't been unveiled as a Red.
Wirtz, 22, looks set to swap Bayer Leverkusen for Liverpool this summer - beating out the likes of Manchester City and Bayern Munich to his signature.
According to Sky Sports a done deal is poised to be wrapped up in the coming days, with Wirtz seemingly sold on Liverpool's vision as the club works out the fine details with the Bundesliga side.
However, that means the Reds won't complete a deal in time for the first deadline of the window on Tuesday (June 10).
And Liverpool fans now have a theory on when the deal could be officially completed. One account on X, formerly known as Twitter, shared an image of Adidas commenting on Wirtz' latest Instagram post.
Liverpool fans looks dejected as Manchester City finish the 2021/2022 season as champions following the Premier League match between Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on May 22, 2022 in Liverpool, England.

Liverpool are set to welcome Adidas back as their kit manufactures later this summer.
The German kit manufacturer holds a special place in supporters' hearts having supplied a number of iconic Reds kits and training wear first between 1985 and 1996, then again from 2006 to 2012.
And fans have schemed that Wirtz and Adidas will be unveiled together when the Adidas deal starts on August 1.
"What if the plan is to announce Wirtz and reveal Adidas kit at the same time," one fan question.
While a second responded: "There's no way we wait all the way until August to do that. I think it will be similar to the Frimpong situation!"

"It can’t wait till August. Slot will want a full pre season with him, that’s the whole reason we’re doing business early," a third said. As a fourth posted: "Perfect... Never rule out such possibility!"
Wirtz wears Adidas for his national team - and he's an ambassador the product in his homeland.
