Florian Wirtz is on the cusp of becoming a Liverpool player and in the process will become the most expensive transfer the club has ever completed. The Reds will pay Bayer Leverkusen an initial fee

Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for an initial $135 million, according to CBS Sports sources.

The deal, reportedly to cost over $150 million dollars, gives reigning Premier League champions Liverpool a marquee playmaker with versatility across the attacking parts of the pitch.

Should all those bonuses be triggered, Wirtz would become the most expensive signing in Premier League history, eclipsing Chelsea’s £115 million ($156.4 million) acquisition of Moisés Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023.
