Deal Completed: Liverpool Finalize Record-Breaking Signing
Liverpool FC have officially secured a historic transfer, breaking their previous spending record to land a marquee signing. The player is set to arrive today alongside his representatives to finalize the move. The club has also revealed the iconic jersey number he will wear.
Liverpool Target Florian Wirtz in Major Summer Move
Florian Wirtz has become a top target for Liverpool this summer. The club has initiated talks with Bayer Leverkusen and made contact with the 22-year-old’s representatives, showing serious interest in bringing the midfielder to Anfield.
Though previously linked with Manchester City and Bayern Munich, recent developments suggest Liverpool have taken the lead. Wirtz now appears more open to a Premier League switch, with Bayern reportedly stepping back, clearing the way for Liverpool to engage directly with Leverkusen.
The transfer could surpass the £75 million Liverpool paid for Virgil van Dijk in 2018, as Wirtz is valued around £125 million—a price that caused Manchester City to withdraw from the race due to financial constraints.
While an agreement hasn’t been finalized, Wirtz is a priority for new Liverpool manager Arne Slot as the team looks to build on their Premier League success and prepare for the upcoming season.
