Florian Wirtz to Liverpool - Medical, Jeremie Frimpong Meeting, Bayern Munich Transfer Response - Liverpool Echo
- Liverpool agreed a club-record deal to sign German international Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for £116 million in June 2025, with a medical scheduled for Friday.
- After two unsuccessful bids and negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool secured Florian Wirtz’s transfer despite interest from top clubs including Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Real Madrid, with Arne Slot playing a pivotal role in persuading him to join the Reds.
- Wirtz, 22, scored 34 goals in two seasons and six in this year's Champions League, and he is set to reunite with former Bayer teammate Jeremie Frimpong at Anfield this summer.
- The deal includes an upfront fee of £100 million plus up to £16 million in add-ons, which potentially surpasses Chelsea’s £115 million transfer for Moisés Caicedo in 2023; Max Eberl said, “Florian Wirtz is an outstanding player.”
- Liverpool’s investment indicates a shift to prioritize an attacking midfielder over a striker, aiming for Wirtz to have a transformational impact similar to past signings like Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker.
