Florian Wirtz is set to join Liverpool for an initial fee of 100 million, with potential add-ons bringing the total to 116 million. This transfer marks Wirtz as not only Liverpool's most costly signing but also the highest paid for a German player and the largest sale from a Bundesliga team. Wirtz's transfer highlights Liverpool's continued commitment to acquiring top talent, as they have already invested heavily in notable players like Alisson and Virgil van Dijk, fostering their competitive edge in the Premier League.
Florian Wirtz is set to become the 10th footballer to move for a nine-figure fee after Liverpool agreed to pay Bayer Leverkusen an initial 100m for the Germany attacking midfielder. This move not only makes Wirtz Liverpool's club record signing at 22 but also establishes him as the most expensive German footballer ever and the largest transfer from a Bundesliga club.
Wirtz's initial fee of 100m puts him halfway to the world record of 200m set by PSG's signing of Neymar in 2017. Liverpool's transaction highlights their aggressive spending in recent years, having already invested heavily in star players like Alisson and Virgil van Dijk.
This transfer places Wirtz alongside other top-level signings in the Premier League, including Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez and Brighton's Moises Caicedo, who also moved for fees around or above 100m.
With 16m in potential add-ons, Wirtz's deal could become the most lucrative among current high-value signings, which positions Liverpool strategically in the ongoing battle for top talents in football.
