New Premier League record transfer fee agreed as Liverpool commit | OneFootball

Liverpool have set a new Premier League transfer record, with Florian Wirtz now on his way to Anfield.

The Athletic reporting (see below) that Bayer Leverkusen are in line to receive a total of £116m, with £100m guaranteed upfront, then another £16m in future add-ons.

This beats the £115m deal for Moises Caicedo, that Brighton received from Chelsea.

Chelsea with also the next highest, £107m paid to Benfica for Enzo Fernandez.

The Athletic report – 13 June 2025:

‘Liverpool have agreed a fee of €136.3million (£116m) to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

The fee is comprised of a €117.5m (£100m) upfront fee with a further €18.8m (£16m) in add-ons, with Wirtz expected to sign a five-year deal at Anfield.

It represents a club record fee for Liverpool and a potential British record transfer, should the add-ons be activated.

The Athletic reported on June 6 that Liverpool had submitted an improved offer of €134million (£113m) for the Leverkusen playmaker, following Liverpool’s €130m (£109m) approach for the 22-year-old the previous week.

Liverpool had not intended to meet Leverkusen’s reported asking price of €150m for Wirtz, whose contract at the German club runs through to 2027.’
