The German international, who sparked speculation with a social media post on Tuesday night, is reportedly close to completing a move from Bayer Leverkusen to Anfield.
Sources indicate the transfer fee could surpass £126 million, potentially making it one of the most expensive signings in Liverpool’s history. According to Romano, both clubs are ironing out the final details of the agreement.
But there’s a potential setback — German outlet BILD has cautioned that the deal might fall through if Wirtz sustains an injury during his current international duty.
Liverpool fans will be keeping a close eye on him as he’s expected to feature in Germany’s Nations League semi-final clash with Portugal on Wednesday. With Jamal Musiala sidelined, Wirtz will be a key figure in the German midfield.
The 22-year-old is coming off an outstanding season, having scored 16 goals and provided 15 assists, and is reportedly eager to be part of Arne Slot’s new era at Liverpool.
Though the club hasn’t officially announced the transfer, Romano insists it’s almost finalized. Liverpool fans — there’s every reason to be thrilled!
