BREAKING: Florian Wirtz Joins Liverpool in Record-Breaking Transfer
Liverpool have completed one of the most stunning transfers in recent Premier League history, securing the signature of German sensation Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. The long-running saga has officially come to an end — and it’s a seismic moment in European football.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has signed a five-year contract with the Reds, becoming the most expensive player in Premier League history. The deal is worth a fixed £105 million, with an additional £13 million in performance-based bonuses, bringing the total package to an eye-watering £118 million.
Leverkusen initially rejected a £113 million offer, holding firm until Liverpool met their final terms — and now, the Bundesliga star makes a record-breaking move to Anfield, overtaking the likes of Enzo Fernández and Jack Grealish in the history books.
🗣️ “Florian is on another level — he reads the game like few can,” said a source close to Liverpool’s transfer team. “Slot has been targeting him since day one. This isn’t just a big move — it’s a defining one.”
Wirtz played a pivotal role in Leverkusen’s historic unbeaten Bundesliga campaign under Xabi Alonso and had been on the radar of Europe’s elite clubs, including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City. But it’s Liverpool who won the race — and they’ve made a massive statement of intent.
The German international is expected to link up with his new teammates during pre-season, likely making his debut during Liverpool’s upcoming U.S. tour. Fans have already flooded social media with excitement, hailing him as the creative spark the midfield has lacked since Philippe Coutinho’s departure.
This isn’t just a marquee signing — it signals the dawn of a new chapter.
