Florian Wirtz is expected to complete his club-record transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool on Friday, sources have told ESPN.
Last week, ESPN reported Liverpool had agreed to sign the Germany international in a deal that could rise up to £116 million (€136m), after having two bids rejected by Leverkusen.
The Bundesliga side ultimately accepted an initial £100m payment, plus bonuses of up to £16m. Sources told ESPN that should those add-ons be triggered, Wirtz’s transfer fee would surpass that of Moisés Caicedo, who joined Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer of 2023.
