More details have emerged of the British record deal that will take Florian Wirtz to Liverpool, with a big personal sacrifice leaving Bayern Munich stunned

Florian Wirtz knows what it is to be a wanted man. And now, six years after catching the eye of some of the game's biggest clubs, Wirtz is making the second high profile, contentious move of his career.

The Reds have agreed a deal for the aforementioned amount to sign the Bayer Leverkusen star, as reported by Sky Sports News on Friday, and a fellow German who spent several years at Anfield is convinced that it isn’t just the 22-year-old’s technical ability which’ll shine through on Merseyside.

The deal, reportedly to cost over $150 million dollars, gives reigning Premier League champions Liverpool a marquee playmaker with versatility across the attacking parts of the pitch.

Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for an initial $135 million, according to CBS Sports sources. The agreement to sign the German international could ultimately break the British transfer record set by Chelsea when they signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for just short of $145 million.

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.
