Liverpool have agreed a £116m deal to sign Germany attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

The fee includes a guaranteed £100m and a further £16m in add-ons.

Those bonus payments would become payable if the Reds achieve a sustained level of success at elite level - and would only then become a British record.
