— In a sensational move that could shake up the Premier League, Liverpool are reportedly set to hand German star Florian Wirtz a five-year contract worth a staggering £355,000 per week. The deal would make Wirtz one of the highest-paid players in the club’s history.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder, who has enjoyed a meteoric rise at Bayer Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso, has long been linked with Europe’s elite clubs. But it appears Liverpool have won the race for his signature, with the agreement expected to be finalized in the coming days.
Sources close to the club suggest that negotiations are in the final stages, with both parties aligned on personal terms and image rights. The five-year deal not only secures one of Europe’s brightest young talents but also signals Liverpool’s intent to build a new era under manager Arne Slot.
Wirtz, who was instrumental in Leverkusen’s Bundesliga triumph and Europa League campaign, has been praised for his creativity, technical ability, and maturity beyond his years. His arrival could bolster Liverpool’s midfield and attacking options, especially following the recent departures and rebuild under new leadership.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement, which could come before Germany’s opening match at Euro 2025. If completed, the signing would not only mark one of the biggest in Liverpool’s recent history but also serve as a statement of ambition from the Anfield hierarchy.
