Liverpool is looking to get its business done early on in the transfer window, with Jeremie Frimpong already through the door and prodigious Hungarian goalkeeper Armin Pecsi joining him on Saturday.

Pecsi, 20, has been signed for a fee that could rise to $2 million and is expected to play for Liverpool's Under-21 team next term, while also benefiting from training alongside Alisson and Giorgi Mamardashvili.

The signing that the majority of Liverpool fans are most excited about, though, is that of Florian Wirtz, who is expected to secure a move to Anfield from Bayer Leverkusen. It emerged last month that Wirtz had decided he wanted to join Liverpool over Bayern Munich, and the Reds have been working to try to get a deal over the line in recent weeks.

When does the transfer window close?

Liverpool is hopeful of tying up a deal for Wirtz before the first transfer window of the summer closes on Tuesday, June 10, but even if the deal is not done by then, the second window of the summer opens less than a week later and runs until the beginning of September, so the Reds will not panic if Wirtz's signature hasn't been secured by June 10.

The new transfer window that opened on June 1 was introduced so that clubs participating in this summer's revamped Club World Cup could make signings ahead of the tournament getting underway in mid-June.

Liverpool made an improved bid to sign Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen late this week, hoping to end the transfer saga that started in mid-May.

In the late evening on Friday night UK-time, it was reported that the Reds had upped their bid to a figure of $153 million (£113 million) — around $135 million (£100 million) base and up to around $18 million (£13 million) in add-ons.

Liverpool.com understands that this is the case as negotiations continue with Leverkusen, with the player convinced on the move.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano recently claimed that Liverpool is "advancing" to complete the Wirtz deal in the coming days, with negotiations in the "final stages." It's claimed the player will then travel to Merseyside to complete his medical.

This bid is thought to be below Bayer Leverkusen's valuation of the player, thought to be around $170 million (£126 million).
