German playmaker completes €100m+ move from Leverkusen, targets more trophies
-
LONDON - Florian Wirtz said he wants to win it all at Liverpool after completing a blockbuster move from Bayer Leverkusen on June 20, which could reportedly rise to an English Premier League record fee.
Reports in England said the Premier League champions will pay an initial £100 million ($173 million) for Wirtz, comfortably surpassing their own record outlay, with a further £16 million in performance-related add-ons making it a British record deal.
However, the German media suggested the fee could be even higher, starting at €130 million ($192 million) with add-ons taking it to €150 million.
One of European football's elite young stars, Wirtz has been hailed as one of the "best in the world" by former Leverkusen coach and ex-Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso, who is the new boss of Real Madrid.
"I would like to win everything every year!" the 22-year-old told the club's website.
"In the end, we want to be successful. Last season they won the Premier League, so my goal for sure is to win it again, and also to go further in the Champions League. I'm really ambitious."
