Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz is moving closer to completing a record move to Liverpool.

The German midfielder could soon become the most expensive player in Premier League history and will be joined by his girlfriend Aaliyah on Merseyside.

Wirtz, 22, appears poised to join Arne Slot's team after Liverpool reportedly struck a deal with Bayer Leverkusen.



The two clubs have agreed to a £100m fee that could rise to £116m, potentially breaking the British transfer record currently held by Chelsea's Moises Caicedo.

However, the German midfielder won't be the only new arrival in Liverpool as he'll be joined by his partner Aaliyah.

Away from football, Aaliyah is an influencer.

Although her Instagram account is private, she has amassed over 100k followers on TikTok, where she shares fashion inspiration.

The Daily Star reports that she has also collaborated with Cologne-based photographer Jonas Herrlein.

The couple are believed to have started dating in 2022, around the time when Wirtz suffered a cruciate ligament injury.

Aaliyah has also become part of the family, being photographed with his parents and siblings at matches.

Wirtz's transfer to Liverpool could surpass the current £115m British record set in August 2023 when Chelsea bought Caicedo from Brighton and Hove Albion, outbidding Liverpool in the process.

Liverpool had previously seen bids of £109m and £113m rejected by Leverkusen before finally making headway.
