THE BIGGER PICTURE
The deal has finally been agreed to between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen after a very lengthy back-and-forth between the two sides. The Reds reportedly saw three bids rejected by the Bundesliga side, as Die Werkself tried to hold out for a reported fee of €150 million (£127m/$171m). However, the Merseyside club were able to settle the deal for £116 million ($159m).
