Liverpool has just confirmed its richest purchase in history: Florian Wirtz is moving to the Premier League for a sum of 135/6 million euros (116.5 million pounds), including bonuses. The starting base is 116.8 million euros.
The attacking midfielder born in 2003 leaves Bayer Leverkusen after five seasons and signs a contract until 2030: according to Fabrizio Romano, he will earn about 200,000 pounds a week.
The club introduced its new purchase with a video in which the player speaks in German, but concluded with the classic phrase: "You'll never walk alone".
Not only the top of the special Premier League ranking, Florian Wirtz's move to Liverpool could enter the all-time podium if all bonuses are realized: it would become the 3rd most expensive purchase in football history.
He would reach (or slightly exceed) 135 million purchases of Ousmane Dembelé and Coutinho. Only surpassed by Mbappé (180 million) and Neymar (222 million). Source: Transfermarkt.
