Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen with the midfielder declaring his desire to ‘win everything’. The German will cost a club record £100m and his price could rise with add-ons to £116m, which would make him the most expensive British transfer.
Leverkusen had wanted €150m (£127.6m) for the 22-year-old, who also attracted interest from Bayern Munich, but weeks of talks brought down the price. Wirtz, an attacking midfielder, scored 16 goals and provided 15 assists in the past season in 45 club appearances. He has signed a five-year deal at Anfield.
