Joshua Kimmich has conceded that Bayern Munich is in urgent need of bolstering its attack after the club missed out on securing Florian Wirtz, who opted for Liverpool instead. On Friday, the Reds agreed a deal potentially setting a new British record at $157 million for Bayer Leverkusen star Wirtz.

After several rejected bids, Liverpool have now agreed a deal to sign Wirtz for a whopping €136.3 million (£116.1 million, $157.8 million)—making Wirtz the most expensive sale in Bundesliga history and setting him up to break the Premier League transfer record if all add-ons are met.
