Florian Wirtz is getting closer to joining Liverpool, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that the player has agreed to terms and will soon sign a contract worth £200,000 per week. The German star rose to global fame thanks to his performances at Bayer Leverkusen. He played a key role in the club’s first Bundesliga title, and although they couldn’t retain the championship this season, he remained a standout performer.
Several clubs showed interest in Wirtz, but Liverpool appears set to secure his signature. Manager Arne Slot wants to strengthen his squad after their recent Premier League win. After bringing in Jeremie Frimpong, Slot is also keen to add Wirtz. This would be a major step for the player, with significant financial benefits for his parents as well.
Why Wirtz’s Parents Stand to Gain Substantially
They are about to become considerably wealthier.
It’s unusual for top footballers to have their parents as their representatives, but this arrangement has clearly worked well for Wirtz’s family, who stand to earn nearly £9 million. This is part of a deal between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen where the Reds will pay £100 million upfront for Wirtz, with the possibility of an additional £16 million in bonuses later.
This transfer will be Liverpool’s most expensive ever, but if Wirtz performs for Slot as he did at Leverkusen, it will be an outstanding investment. The German is currently one of the world’s best players and has even been predicted by AI to win the Ballon d’Or within the next ten years. In 197 appearances for Leverkusen, he scored 57 goals and provided 75 assists. He’s expected to be a key player in Liverpool’s midfield next season.
