Liverpool get their man in £116m deal

The Journal

June 14, 2025

PREMIER League champions Liverpool have agreed a club-record deal worth up to £116million to sign Florian Wirtz after Bayer Leverkusen finally settled on a fee for their playmaker.

The Reds had two bids rejected, the last one of £113m which would have seen £100m paid up front with performance-related add ons, but have finally got the deal over the line.

Liverpool will still pay an initial £100m comfortably surpassing their own record outlay but the performance-related add-ons, if achieved, would make it a potential British record.

Leverkusen had valued the 22-year-old Germany international around £125m but regardless, Liverpool's overall outlay could surpass the £115m Chelsea paid Brighton in 2023 for Moises Caicedo who turned down Anfield after the Seagulls had accepted an offer which was subsequently matched by their Premier League rivals.
