Florian Wirtz might have just quietly won the approval of the Liverpool dressing room when alluding to his possible move to Anfield<\/a> this week. The Reds remain in talks with Bayer Leverkusen regarding a would-be club-record move for the Germany international.<\/p>\n Liverpool<\/a> have seen two bids rejected for the 22-year-old to date, with the latest totalling \u00a3109m. But all parties remain confident that a deal will be agreed this summer.<\/p>\n Amid the ongoing transfer saga, Wirtz<\/a> is currently away on international duty as Germany compete in the Nations League finals. But he briefly stepped away from preparations for their semi-final clash with Portugal to rubbish one claim about his possible move to Liverpool on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Jeremie Frimpong opens up on decision to join Liverpool and details Arne Slot talks – ‘They told me’<\/a>READ MORE: Jamie Carragher tells Liverpool who to sign next after Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez<\/a><\/p>\n Reports in Germany had claimed that Wirtz was demanding the number 10 shirt at Anfield, despite the fact it is already under the ownership of Alexis Mac Allister<\/a>.<\/p>\n The German quickly took to Instagram to emphatically rubbish some claims as he wrote on his story: \u201cWho says I want the [ten emoji] I respect players. Don’t believe everything what’s written [clown emoji].\u201d<\/p>\n Aside from acknowledging the transfer talks being held with Liverpool in the process, such an outburst might also go down well in the Reds dressing room as Wirtz made sure to set the record straight.<\/p>\n Had he really been demanding the number 10 shirt off Mac Allister, noses could have been put out of joint at Anfield.<\/p>\n Instead, by affirming his respect for Liverpool\u2019s ranks, he has arguably passed one unofficial Reds test – the \u2018no k***heads\u2019 rule.<\/p>\n Former Liverpool vice-captain James Milner<\/a> previously explained that part of the reason why the Reds had proven to be so strong under Jurgen Klopp<\/a> was because of their recruitment and the strength of their dressing room.<\/p>\n Put simply, ‘We don’t sign any k***heads’.<\/p>\n
