LIVERPOOL fans want to pay £200million for Florian Wirtz after spotting what he did to Bruno Fernandes.

The Bayer Leverkusen star is a top target for the champions this summer after transforming into one of Europe’s top playmakers.

Liverpool have already failed with a £110m bid for the 2024 Bundesliga title winner.

Leverkusen are thought to want £126m — making Wirtz the most expensive player in British football history.

But giddy Reds fans are prepared to bring him in for as much as £200m.

That’s after being blown away by his actions in last night’s Nations League semi-final between Germany and Portugal.

Wirtz opened the scoring in the crunch clash before Cristiano Ronaldo inspired his side to a 2-1 victory.

However, a collision with Manchester United captain Fernandes got plenty of Liverpool fans off their seats.

Both men challenge for a loose ball, with Fernandes going to ground as he slid along the turf.

Yet with each star stretching out a leg, Wirtz ended up raking the Red Devils skipper along the side of his ankle.

This delighted many Liverpool supporters, who urged Arne Slot to do whatever it takes to bring Wirtz to Anfield.

One said: “And it begins.”

Another declared: “Oh Florian that’s f****** filthy. Give them 200 million.”

One noted: “£500k a week, he’s earned it.”

Another added: “I love him already.”
