Liverpool have reportedly completed a medical agreement ahead of a significant transfer in the Premier League summer window, according to Fabrizio Romano. The club is on the verge of finalizing a high-profile signing that could break transfer records, reflecting their ambition to strengthen the squad under manager Arne Slot.

The deal involves the acquisition of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. Liverpool have agreed a fee that could rise to approximately €136.3 million (£116.1 million), which, if all performance-related add-ons are triggered, would make Wirtz the most expensive signing in Premier League history, surpassing Chelsea's £115 million purchase of Moisés Caicedo in 2023. This transfer also eclipses Liverpool's previous record expenditure of £85 million for Darwin Núñez. Wirtz had previously declined interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester City to join Liverpool, underlining the club's pull for the promising midfielder.

Alongside Wirtz, Liverpool are actively working on additional reinforcements, including defensive signings. The club is close to securing Parma centre-back Giovanni Leoni for around £26 million, further strengthening the backline following some departures. Liverpool have also been linked with England centre-back Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace, with negotiations ongoing and expected to reach a fee near £30 million plus add-ons.

The medical agreement reportedly completed is an important step toward officially announcing these new arrivals, emphasizing Liverpool's proactive approach in the transfer market ahead of the new Premier League season. Existing Liverpool players, such as Andy Robertson, have expressed excitement about the arrival of Wirtz, signaling positive reception within the squad.
