The Reds are entering a crucial week in their pursuit of the Bayer Leverkusen star, with the Premier League champions increasingly confident of securing a club-record transfer for the German playmaker

Liverpool have submitted their second improved offer for Wirtz, worth approximately €130 million (£109.4 million), which represents a significant increase from their initial bid that exceeded €100 million.

The proposal includes both guaranteed fees and performance-related add-ons, though the exact structure of these payments still needs to be ironed out.

Now German outlet BILD has confirmed that Wirtz has a deal agreed with Liverpool through until 2030 – making it a five-year contract on Merseyside:

“Leverkusen’s world star Florian Wirtz (22) has already reached an agreement with English champions Liverpool FC.”

“The Reds and the exceptional footballer have agreed on a contract until 2030.”
