Wirtz had plenty of options heading into the summer transfer window, with the likes of Man City, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich all interested in signing him.
According to former Leverkusen striker Voller, he made his mind up ‘months ago’ and was adamant he wanted to join the Premier League champions.
Voller told Toni Kroos' podcast 'Einfach Mal Luppen': "A few months ago, he hinted to me, as did his father, that he was inclined to go to Liverpool."
The attacking midfielder is now set to undergo his medical with Arne Slot’s side before the transfer is officially announced.
