Florian Wirtz arrived in the UK on Thursday evening to complete his £100m move to the Premier League champions Liverpool.

The total package is £116.5m (€137.5m), made up of a £100m plus £16.5m in potential add-ons.

Sky in Germany report the 22-year-old has also successfully completed the first part of his medical.

The second part will take place on Friday, after which he is due to sign a five-year contract on a minimum salary of £195,000 per week, which could become £245,000 per week with bonuses.

The move for the Germany international will eclipse the previous British record transfer fee of £115m that Chelsea paid to Brighton to sign Moises Caicedo in 2023.

He only wanted to join Liverpool during this window, Sky Sports News understands, and not for the money.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot's tactical plan for the playmaker is said to be one of the key reasons he has chosen to move to Anfield.

Wirtz, who has spent his entire senior career at Leverkusen, scored 10 goals and registered 12 assists in 25 starts as his side finished runners-up to Bayern Munich last season, a year on from winning a league and cup double.

Liverpool, like a number of top European clubs, have been watching Wirtz - who was one of the Bundesliga's most impressive performers last season - for some time.
