Wirtz has topped 30 goal involvements in each of the last two seasons. He racked up 37 in 2023-24 as Leverkusen won the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double and reached the Europa League final, where defeat to Atalanta marked their sole loss of the season.

Liverpool has agreed to pay a transfer fee of 116 million pounds ($157 million) for attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

Liverpool supporters were understandably left excited on Friday morning after it emerged that their club had struck a record deal with Bayer Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz. As previously reported by the ECHO, Liverpool will pay £116m for the 22-year-old in a deal that smashes the club’s current transfer record.
