Liverpool Seal Record-Breaking £116M Wirtz Transfer

Liverpool FC has finalized a historic transfer deal, securing Bayer Leverkusen’s star attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz for a British-record £116 million, according to the Daily Mail (June 13, 2025). The 22-year-old German prodigy is set to arrive in Merseyside on Thursday, June 19, 2025, with his medical scheduled for Friday, June 20, as confirmed by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano on X. The contract will run until June 2030, with Wirtz’s official unveiling to follow shortly after.

Wirtz, widely regarded as one of the world’s top attacking midfielders, chose Liverpool over Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Real Madrid, a decision influenced by his recent house-hunting in Cheshire. His standout performances, including a record-breaking seven-second goal for Germany against France in March 2024 and a pivotal role in their 5-1 Euro 2024 victory, underscore his elite potential. His 2021-2025 Bundesliga Player of the Month awards highlight his consistency.

This move mirrors Liverpool’s transformative signings like Virgil van Dijk, signaling a data-driven strategy to enhance their attacking prowess. Fans and analysts are buzzing with excitement, anticipating Wirtz’s impact under Arne Slot’s management as the Reds aim to reclaim Premier League dominance. The transfer window’s biggest deal is now official—Liverpool’s future looks bright.
