Liverpool are gearing up for the biggest spending summer in their history as the transfer window re-opens to pave the way for Florian Wirtz to join

Boston Red Sox fans have developed a conspiracy theory relating to Liverpool and their move for Florian Wirtz after the MBL traded its star player.

Wirtz had grown up in a family that refused to compromise his development, nor that of his sister Juliane, who plays for Werder Bremen. His father Hans remains the chairman of Grun-Weiss Brauweiler, Wirtz's childhood was framed around the local football team. He grew up with a ball attached to his feet.

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.

With Florian Wirtz set to join Liverpool for a club-record £100m, BBC Sport look at where the Germany midfielder will play.

Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for an initial $135 million, according to CBS Sports sources. The agreement to sign the German international could ultimately break the British transfer record set by Chelsea when they signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for just short of $145 million.

Liverpool's squad will look slightly different when the 2025-26 season gets under way in a couple of months' time, with the Reds set to sign and sell further players this summer

Liverpool are considering a move for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, according to reports. The Premier League champions are finally set to complete their deal to sign Florian Wirtz after agreeing a £116 million deal with Bayer Leverkusen this week.
