Liverpool are on the verge of announcing the landmark transfer for Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz in a deal worth up to £126 million (via Fabrizio Romano) — a move that would shatter the British transfer record.

This audacious acquisition speaks volumes about the Reds’ evolving identity under new manager Arne Slot and their ambition to remain a Premier League superpower.

The proposed fee, including add-ons, eclipses the £115m Chelsea paid for Moises Caicedo, marking a seismic shift in Liverpool’s transfer approach.
