Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen have agreed a British record fee for Florian Wirtz.

The Germany international will cost the Reds an initial £100million, plus up to £16million in add-ons.

Leverkusen were initially holding out for £125m for the star, who was of interest to the likes of Manchester City and Bayern Munich in recent months.



However, Liverpool have succeeded in bringing the price down.

According to The Ath;etic, the successful bid comes after an offer worth up to £113m was put to Leverkusen earlier in the month.

If all add-ons are activated, the fee would surpass the £115m Chelsea agreed with Brighton for the signing of midfielder Moises Caicedo.

The same publication reports that conversations between Liverpool transfer chief Richard Hughes and Leverkusen counterpart Simon Rolfes have largely surrounded payment terms and add-ons.

He would become the first Liverpool signing on that list, which also includes Chelsea duo Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice and Man City star Jack Grealish.
