Wirtz’s much anticipated move to Liverpool FC will go though per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. All along, Bayer Leverkusen had aimed to get a total package of €150 million and it looks like that is exactly what Die Werkself will get: Liverpool verbally agree deal in principle with Bayer Leverkusen for package reaching €150m add-ons included.

In the first blockbuster signing of the 2025 summer transfer window, Liverpool has sealed a sensational $171 million deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz.

Liverpool will have to wait six more days - at least - to officially sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen after the first transfer window of the summer closed on Tuesday night. The calendar for player trades looks slightly different this off-season due to the inaugural edition of the expanded Club World Cup to be held in the United States.
