The trend of the last hours is confirmed and the file now advances very quickly. Florian Wirtz (22) has chosen to join Liverpool rather than Bayern Munich for his next challenge. This is what the English and German media asserted last night, confirming in passing that Manchester City had thrown the sponge in this file, considering that the total cost of the operation (around € 300 million between the transfer and the salary) was too high.
The economic power of the Reds and the prospect of evolving in the Premier League rather than staying in the Bundesliga, where the attacking midfielder has shown since its professional beginnings in 2020, have undoubtedly made the difference in this file. Better yet, according to information from Readerthe player (45 games this season, 16 goals and 15 assists) agreed with the England champion on the terms of a contract. For the moment few details have been released on this subject and its structure.
Towards a transfer beyond 100 M €
One thing is certain on the other hand, we are close to a transfer of the German international (29 selections, 6 goals) to Anfield. Liverpool must still agree with Bayer Leverkusen on the transfer compensation to be paid and the terms. The B04 required no less than 150 M € to let its nugget go, still under contract until 2027. The sum should be a little lower in the end. The media evokes a check undoubtedly more than 100 M €.
It will be necessary to define between the two directions the share of fixed and the variables but we are probably heading towards the most expensive transfer in the history of Liverpool and the € 85 million spent for Darwin Nunez in 2022. We should quickly know more about what is undoubtedly one of the very large movements of summer. The Reds certainly lose Alexander-Arnold, but managed to convince Salah to stay. The association between the one who has just been elected best Premier League and Wirtz player would be full of promises.
