Liverpool agree club-record deal to sign Wirtz

Independent on Saturday

|

June 14, 2025

LIVERPOOL have agreed a club-record deal worth up to £116 million (R3 billion) to sign attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, it was widely reported yesterday.

British media reported that the Premier League champions would pay an initial £100m (R2bn), comfortably surpassing their own record outlay, but the performance-related add-ons, if achieved, would make it a potential British record.

Reports in Germany suggested the potential fee could rise to 150m euros (R3bn) .

Liverpool’s total spend on the 22-year-old Germany international could surpass the £115 million Chelsea agreed to pay Brighton in 2023 for Moises Caicedo, who turned down Anfield.

Midfielder Caicedo cost Chelsea an initial £100 million fee, which could rise to £115 million.

Striker Darwin Nunez was Liverpool's previous record signing in 2022, although they have not paid the full £85 million as he has not met all the requirements for certain add-ons to be due.
