Liverpool to sign Florian Wirtz! Premier League champions agree €150m package for Bayer Leverkusen playmaker with British transfer record about to be smashed

The Reds have spent the last few days in talks with Bayer Leverkusen and have now clinched a deal, reports Fabrizio Romano. Wirtz will now head to Anfield for his medical and to sign his contract.

Wirtz is considered one of the best attacking midfielders in world football after starring in Bayer Leverkusen's Bundesliga title win in 2023-24, before scoring 16 goals and assisting 15 in the most recent campaign.

The deal taking Wirtz to Liverpool is set to beat the current British record, currently held by Moises Caicedo's £115m move to Chelsea.

Wirtz is set to star in a Liverpool side aiming to defend the Premier League title for the first time. He will join up with former Bayer Leverkusen full-back Jeremie Frimpong, who has also signed for Arne Slot's side.
