🔴 Florian Wirtz Reaches Personal Terms with Liverpool Amid Blockbuster Transfer Buzz
Liverpool have reportedly agreed personal terms with Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz on a five-year contract that would make the 22-year-old the second-highest-paid player at the club. However, it’s the eye-watering potential transfer fee — rumored to be upwards of €150 million — that’s truly capturing global attention.
✈️ Private Jet Visit Sparks Frenzy
According to German outlet Kicker.de, Wirtz recently flew into Liverpool by private jet alongside his parents — who also serve as his advisors — for a behind-the-scenes visit at the club’s training facilities. This comes amid earlier speculation linking the German international to Manchester City.
The visit adds fuel to growing expectations that Liverpool are leading the race for one of Europe’s most coveted young talents.
🎯 An Elite Talent in Europe
Fresh off a historic, unbeaten Bundesliga title-winning season under Xabi Alonso, Wirtz recorded 16 goals and 15 assists in 44 appearances — a testament to his maturity, vision, and attacking prowess.
Stats from last season underline just how elite Wirtz has become:
- 🎯 Assists per 90: 0.37 (93rd percentile)
- ⚡ Shot-Creating Actions per 90: 5.64 (98th percentile)
- 📈 Progressive Passes per 90: 6.91 (94th percentile)
- 🌀 Successful Take-Ons per 90: 2.58 (96th percentile)
With 82 goal involvements in 139 Bundesliga appearances, Wirtz is already operating at a world-class level — and he’s only 22.
🔁 A New Era Under Arne Slot
Wirtz would become a headline arrival in what’s shaping up to be a major rebuild under new Liverpool boss Arne Slot. Having already secured Jeremie Frimpong, the Reds appear committed to reinvigorating the squad with Bundesliga-proven talent.
Importantly, Leverkusen reportedly prefer selling Wirtz to a non-German club, potentially giving Liverpool a significant edge over Bayern Munich in the race.
⏳ What’s Next?
With the UEFA Nations League and the summer transfer window in full swing, Wirtz’s future could be decided sooner rather than later. If Liverpool complete the deal, it could mark the beginning of a bold new creative era at Anfield — one led by a generational midfield talent.
