Another major and sensational agreement is on the verge of being realized in the European football transfer market. The star attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, who shone at Germany's Bayer club, will continue his career in the English Premier League. His next destination is Liverpool.
According to reliable football insider Fabrizio Romano, the Reds have agreed to pay 150 million euros to secure the 22-year-old Wirtz. This amount is historically significant for both the German club and the player himself. It is expected to be one of the most expensive transfers made by the Premier League champions.
Wirtz is set to undergo a medical examination in the coming days and is expected to sign a five-year contract at Anfield. Last season, he played in 45 matches for Bayer, scoring 16 goals and providing 15 assists — an impressive result for a young player.
Notably, Wirtz's existing contract with Bayer was set to run until 2027. According to data from the Transfermarkt portal, his market value is estimated at 140 million euros. However, Liverpool decided to pay a direct 150 million euros for the player — indicating his immense potential for the future.
Florian Wirtz is known for his technical skills, vision on the field, and ball-handling culture as a versatile midfielder. Playing alongside stars like Salah and Dias at Liverpool will further enhance the team's attacking potential. At the same time, he could become a central figure in the tactical setup of the new head coach.
The football community is closely watching the subsequent impacts of this transfer with great interest. Liverpool, in turn, is making serious moves in the transfer market, aiming for high achievements in the new season.
