The Most Expensive Signing In Premier League History
Liverpool have made headlines around the world by agreeing a club record deal to sign German star Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the deal is worth up to €150 million including add-ons, making Wirtz the most expensive signing in Premier League history. The deal also makes the midfielder the most expensive transfer in the history of his new club, Liverpool.
A verbal agreement in principle has been reached between both clubs, and the move is now fully set. Wirtz had already agreed to personal terms two weeks ago, so only the final details between clubs were needed, and now that is done. The 22-year-old midfielder is officially on his way to Anfield.
Wirtz has had a standout season with Bayer Leverkusen, playing a key role in their title-winning campaign. He is known for his excellent vision, passing, and control on the ball. Many fans and experts believe he could be a future Ballon d’Or contender.
This transfer is a clear signal of intent from Liverpool. After some rebuilding years, they are showing they are ready to compete at the very top once again. Wirtz is seen as the perfect player to lead a new era at Anfield. Liverpool will be on a mission to defend their EPL title, and the new signing is expected to adapt to the Premier League as quickly as possible so he can be able to help Arne Slot’s team.
Though the price tag is huge, Liverpool believe they have secured a generational talent. Fans are already buzzing with excitement, and the Premier League just got even more competitive.
