🚨 Official: Florian Wirtz signs for Liverpool! | OneFootball

Historic transfer!

After five seasons at Bayer Leverkusen, his training club, Florian Wirtz is leaving the Bundesliga and committing to Liverpool. The English club made the news official this Friday evening!

Wirtz joins the Reds in exchange for a check ranging between 136 and 150 million euros, depending on whether you listen to the English or German press. Regardless, it's a colossal operation, the biggest transfer in the history of Liverpool FC and the Premier League; the third most expensive in all of football history, behind the arrivals of Neymar (222 million euros) and Kylian Mbappé (180 million euros) to Paris Saint-Germain, in 2017 and 2018.

A pillar of Xabi Alonso's Bayer, German champion, winner of the German Cup and finalist of the Europa League in 2023-2024, Florian Wirtz leaves Leverkusen after 196 matches played and 56 goals scored in all competitions.

The 22-year-old German international is stepping up by joining the reigning champions of England and the Premier League.
