It’s not every day that a club breaks the bank for a player who hasn’t even turned 22 yet—but Liverpool fans, get ready.
It looks like Florian Wirtz is officially on his way to Anfield.
The highly-rated German midfielder is reportedly just a medical away from becoming a Red, in what would be the biggest British transfer deal of the summer.
A Medical Is Booked—And the Countdown Begins
While Wirtz enjoys a bit of downtime after representing Germany in their Nations League fixtures, Liverpool are already putting things in motion.
According to The Athletic, the club has scheduled his medical for this coming Friday.
Once that box is ticked, it’s expected that the paperwork will be wrapped up swiftly.
Deal Worth Up to £116 Million on the Table
Last week, Mail Sport revealed that a deal had already been agreed between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen.
The headline number? £100 million up front, with the potential to climb to £116 million depending on performance-based bonuses.
That includes achievements like lifting the Premier League or Champions League trophies—no small goals.
Five Years of Wirtz at Anfield
Assuming all goes to plan, Wirtz is set to commit to a five-year contract with the Merseyside club.
That would mean Liverpool fans could be watching him pull the strings in midfield well into the end of the decade.
It’s a serious long-term investment in talent—and a sign of how confident the club is in his potential.
Arne Slot Wins the Race for a Star
Wirtz had options, and not just any options—Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and even Real Madrid were all reportedly in the hunt.
But the young star has made it clear: it’s Liverpool or nothing.
That’s a huge endorsement of new head coach Arne Slot, who now has a marquee name to build around as he begins his era at the club.
A Summer Statement Signing
If this move goes through as expected, Wirtz will become the most expensive signing in British football this window—and possibly one of the most impactful.
With his creativity, vision, and composure well beyond his years, he could become a cornerstone of Liverpool’s future.
