This is currently held by Chelsea, who paid around £ 115 million for Moises Caicedo in 2023.
The Reds recently started the 109 millions of pounding offer to bring the Bayer Leverkusen playmaker to ANFELD.
Personal conditions have already been agreed between the two parties, with the 22-year-old only looking at a move to Merseyside.
The preference of the German international has led to Manchester City and Bayern Munich accepted a defeat in their persecution, whereby only Liverpool was used at the table to secure his services.
However, it is believed that their most recent offer to sign the player is not enough to seduce the Bundesliga giant.
While Leverkusen is ready to sell Wirtz early in the window, they would be open so that two Liverpool stars can be recorded in a future offer.
And the two identified, the midfielder Harvey Elliott and the central defender Jarell Quansah attack.
Both men spent their career in Liverpool so far that Elliott in the 2024/25 season only 18 Premier League appearances for the champions-only twice in the leader.
As for the Academy graduate Quansah, he only gathered 13 excursions in the leader, with four of his appearances in Arne Slots Start-Xi.
The chief football correspondent from Talksport, Alex Crook, offered an update to Liverpools on Monday morning to hire Wirtz at the sports breaker show.

He said: “Liverpool made her first offer, we understand more than 109 million GBP.
“It is not a British record fee according to which Leverkusen asked.
“When the Bayern Munich were at the negotiating table, the price was 126 million GBP.
“The interesting element here is the potential of Liverpool players who go in the opposite direction.
“Bayer Leverkusen are big fans of Harvey Elliott, especially, a player who would sell Liverpool at the right price this summer.
“The other man who could move in the opposite direction is Jarell Quansah.
“Liverpool tries to do your business early.”
The Reds have already signed the signature of Wirts Ex-Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong after activating his release clause of £ 29.5 million.

The Slot side moved quickly to sign the Dutch full-back after losing Trent Alexander-Arnold against Real Madrid.
In the meantime, you also prepare a change for the 45 million pound left-back Milos Kerkez in Bournemouth.
And you could also take a step for the Newcastle wing player Anthony Gordon if you separate from Luis Diaz to Barcelona or Al Nassr this summer.
While Diaz is facing an unsafe future, the backup goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is on the way after 67 appearances on six campaigns.
Talksport understands that Brentford has agreed a contract for £ 18 million in order to sign it as a replacement for the departure of Mark Flekken, which is on the way to Leverkusen.
