<\/p>\nWe\u2019re unsure as to whether or not Fabrizio Romano is a fan of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, but he\u2019s turned to one of their song titles with some advice for Liverpool supporters.<\/p>\n
Kopites are eagerly waiting confirmation of the prospective signings of Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez, with both players understood to be close to agreeing moves to Anfield, although progress appears to have slowed on that front in recent days.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s led to some impatience among a minority of Reds fans on social media, but the Merseyside faithful have been reliably reassured that everything is still on track.<\/p>\n
Romano offers reassuring update on Wirtz and Kerkez
\nJust after midday on Friday, Romano posted on X: \u2018Relax with Florian and Kerkez\u2019, along with a meditation emoji to emphasise his point.<\/p>\n
Perhaps sensing that the initial message hadn\u2019t gotten through, he returned to the social media platform five hours later with this advice for LFC fans: \u2018Again for Liverpool\u2026 relax for both Wirtz and Kerkez. All proceeding in the right direction\u2019.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s since shared an update (via his YouTube channel) in which he outlined that Anfield chiefs are set to meet with Bournemouth \u2018next week\u2019 to try and \u2018close the deal\u2019 for the Hungarian left-back, and that an agreement with the Bayer Leverkusen playmaker is \u2018close\u2019 to fruition with just \u2018final details\u2019 to be resolved.<\/p>\n
Liverpool should get both Wirtz and Kerkez done soon
\nIt\u2019s natural that football fans will be eager for prospective transfers to get over the line rather than being at the \u2018almost\u2019 stage for several days, but such transactions don\u2019t simply happen overnight, especially when significant fees are involved.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s definitely the case with Wirtz, who\u2019s set to become Liverpool\u2019s club-record signing for a fee in excess of \u00a3109m, and Leverkusen are understandably determined to get the best possible deal for themselves if they\u2019re to part with their star player.<\/p>\n
What should help for both deals to go through is that the two players are seemingly dead-set on joining the Reds, thus making an 11th-hour hijack from another suitor extremely unlikely, and it appears to be just a matter of sorting out the finer points of their respective contracts.<\/p>\n
Kerkez is conspicuous by his absence from the Hungary squad for their matches during this international window, which his coach Marco Rossi put down to a \u2018problem\u2019 with the left-back \u2013 an interesting way to phrase it, given the ongoing speculation surrounding the 21-year-old.<\/p>\n
All we can do is trust in Richard Hughes to get these two impending deals over the line soon. If Kopites were promised at the start of last month that Liverpool would make three new first-team signings by mid-June, they\u2019d surely have been quite pleased with that outcome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
