Florian Wirtz is on the verge of joining Liverpool for a English transfer-record fee of £116.5m and his club Bayer Leverkusen will have significant funds to replace the playmaker

Liverpool has agreed a deal to sign Germany international Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, and the German club is now searching for a replacement for the star attacker

Should all those bonuses be triggered, Wirtz would become the most expensive signing in Premier League history, eclipsing Chelsea’s £115 million ($156.4 million) acquisition of Moisés Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023.
