Florian Wirtz’s parents are set to receive a huge payout as part of their son’s transfer to Liverpool this summer.
Wirtz is expected to complete his move to Anfield this week, with a medical having been scheduled for Friday after a deal was agreed with Bayer Leverkusen.
The player’s parents act as his representatives, and have been negotiating the deal on his behalf, meaning they will be due a windfall.
The report also goes into how much Wirtz is expected to earn during his time at Anfield, as well as how the potential add-ons in the deal will be split.
.
Wirtz is said to be expected to earn around $11.5M over the course of his contract with the Reds, while Bild suggests the Reds will pay Leverkusen more than Liverpool.com understands the fee to be.
It’s claimed that around $144M is guaranteed, with $28.8M in potential add-ons
Those bonuses are split between $17.3M in “easy” goals, and $11.5M in harder-to-achieve payments.
Those harder bonuses include Wirtz winning the Champions League with Liverpool, and the German international playing a significant role in the triumph, something which former Reds midfielder Dietmar Hamann expects he will have no problem with.
“I don’t think Florian Wirtz will be fazed because there have been rumours over his future for the last 12 months and it didn’t impact his performances once,” Hamann told Wette.de.
