It has been revealed when Florian Wirtz’s switch to Liverpool is expected to be sealed and delivered
Widespread reports last week confirmed the Anfield club have reached an agreement to sign Wirtz for a total package valued at £116.5 million -comprising an initial £100 million payment, plus an additional £16.5 million in performance-related bonuses.
Should all incentives be met, this deal will surpass the previous British transfer record of £115 million, set by Chelsea’s acquisition of Moisés Caicedo in 2023.
Wirtz, who tallied 10 goals and 12 assists in just 25 Bundesliga starts last season, is set to undergo his medical at Liverpool on Friday.
And now Paul Gorst of the Liverpool Echo has reported that, should the medical be passed, the German international will be confirmed as a Liverpool player tomorrow (Friday):
“Florian Wirtz is expected to officially become a Liverpool player on Friday after completing a medical to seal the £116m switch from Bayer Leverkusen,” the Merseyside journalist revealed.
“The Germany international is bound for Merseyside ahead of undergoing the routine examinations and all being well, the Reds will rubber stamp his club-record arrival ahead of the weekend.”
