🚨 It’s official: Florian Wirtz joins Liverpool | OneFootball

The 'Reds' officially announce the signing of the young German footballer, who joins the Premier League champions from Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

Florian Wirtz, one of the greatest talents in European football, arrives in the Premier League to play for Liverpool, the reigning champions of the competition, who have made the most expensive signing in their history to strengthen the squad currently managed by Arne Slot.

Wirtz, a 22-year-old German attacking midfielder, joins the 'Reds' from Bayer 04 Leverkusen for a fee close to 140 million euros, including fixed and variable amounts, according to the British press.

In this way, Liverpool breaks the all-time Premier League transfer record, surpassing the price Chelsea paid Benfica for Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernández (125 million euros).

Furthermore, the signing of Florian Wirtz means that the current elite champions of English football have surpassed their previous transfer record, having spent around 85 million to sign Darwin Núñez from Benfica in the 2022/23 season.

The first opportunity Liverpool fans may have to see Wirtz in action will be when Arne Slot's team faces Preston North End on July 13. After that, the team will travel to Asia to play friendlies against AC Milan and Yokohama FM.
