Four reliable journalists - two of which specialise on all things Liverpool - have set the record straight on Liverpool's pursuit of Florian Wirtz and two widely reported claims have been debunked.

Germany have released their 26-man squad for the Nations League semi-finals against Portugal next month. Head coach Julian Nagelsmann has handed maiden call-ups to Tom Bischof and Nick Woltemade. Bischof recently concluded an impressive 2024/25 campaign with Hoffenheim, establishing him as one of the promising midfielders in the Bundesliga.

This seemingly leaves Liverpool and Bayern Munich as the main contenders to sign Wirtz, but McCoist has warned the Reds against a move. The pundit claims Wirtz’s huge valuation and Liverpool’s need to sign a new striker to replace Darwin Nunez should be enough to put them off.
