The soap opera Florian Wirtz stands out as one of the hottest in summer. While Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen were in advanced discussions for the transfer of the German attacking midfielder, Sky Germany reveals this Friday that an agreement was finally sealed between the two clubs in recent hours.
The total amount of the operation would oscillate between 130 and 135 million euros. To this sum could be added between 15 and 20 million euros in bonuses.
A record transaction
The Reds are thus preparing to achieve, during this summer transfer window, the most expensive recruit in the history of the Premier League. This record dethrones that set by Chelsea with the arrival of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica, for 121 million euros, in January 2023.
And that's not all. This transaction is also the biggest sale ever recorded by a German club, since the transfer of Ousmane Dembélé du Borussia Dortmund to FC Barcelona in the summer of 2017. The Catalans had then spent 105 million euros, accompanied by 40 million in bonuses, to attach the services of the old Rennais.
