Liverpool are moving forward with the signing of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz and are understood to have pencilled in a medical for the German international.
After a couple of unsuccessful bids, the Reds struck a mammoth agreement with Leverkusen worth a reported €136.3 million (£116.1 million, $157.8 million)—a Premier League record fee, eclipsing Chelsea’s £115 million ($156.4 million) purchase of Moisés Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023. Liverpool are expected to pay €117.5 million (£100.1 million, $136.1 million) up front and a further €18.8 million (£16 million, $21.8 million) in performance-related add-ons.
