Liverpool Agrees Record-Breaking Deal for Florian Wirtz

According to ESPN, Florian Wirtz is set to join Liverpool after both clubs reached a transfer agreement — initial £100 million plus bonuses up to £16 million.

Bayer Leverkusen initially rejected two offers from Liverpool and demanded £126 million — but finally accepted an offer that could potentially break the British transfer record currently held by Moisés Caicedo.

The Reds successfully outbid European giants — Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Real Madrid in the pursuit of the 22-year-old midfielder.

This transfer will break Liverpool’s club record previously held by Darwin Núñez. Club management hopes Wirtz can make a significant impact — similar to what Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker have shown since joining.

Wirtz becomes Liverpool’s second summer signing after his former Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong — with Arne Slot’s side also targeting Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez.
