Liverpool agree £116m deal for Florian Wirtz transfer - sources
Liverpool have agreed to sign Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz in a deal that could rise to a British transfer record fee of £116 million, sources have told ESPN.
Liverpool saw two bids rejected by Leverkusen - who had initially wanted £126m for Wirtz - before accepting an initial £100m payment, plus bonuses of up to £16m.
Sources have told ESPN that should those add-ons be triggered, Wirtz's transfer fee would surpass that of Moises Caicedo, who joined Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer of 2023.
