Liverpool are closing in on a record-breaking deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The reliable transfer expert has claimed that negotiations are at ‘final stages’ over the £109m package deal for the German.
That deal would surpass Liverpool’s record signing, which is currently the £75million paid to sign Virgil van Dijk from Southampton back in 2018. Wirtz would also become the most expensive German player in history.
But that £109m price tag is a minimum, meaning he could also surpass the £115m fee Chelsea paid to sign Moises Caicedo in the most expensive move in English football history.
Romano’s report read: “BREAKING: Liverpool are now set to complete Florian Wirtz deal in the next days, here we go soon!”
“Negotiations at final stages for package over €130m, details being sorted then Wirtz will travel for medical.”
“The German star has already all agreed with Liverpool for personal terms, just waiting to get the deal signed.”
Liverpool are making waves in the transfer window. They’ve already confirmed the signing of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, after triggering his £29.5m release clause. Now, they are in advanced talks to sign Wirtz from the German side and that deal is considered a matter of when, not if.
After that, attention will be turned onto AFC Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, with talks already at an advanced stage for that one. The 21-year-old has already agreed personal terms ahead of the switch to Anfield and will likely cost around £45m.
That trio could all be wrapped up by the end of the first transfer deadline, but there is still so much to do this summer. Arne Slot remains keen on signing a centre-forward this summer, with the likes of Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez and Brighton’s Joao Pedro both linked.
A central defender will also be targeted, with both Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez facing uncertain futures at the club, whilst Ibrahima Konate is yet to sign a new deal at the club.
