Fans React as Fabrizio Romano Confirms €150m Liverpool Deal for Florian Wirtz
Social media has erupted with reactions after Fabrizio Romano dropped a major update on the Florian Wirtz transfer saga.
In recent weeks, Liverpool have been pushing hard to finalize a deal for Bayer Leverkusen’s rising star. And on Tuesday night, renowned transfer journalist Romano gave the clearest sign yet that the move is imminent, delivering his signature “Here We Go.”
Posting online, Romano revealed:
“EXCLUSIVE: Florian Wirtz to Liverpool, HERE WE GO! Verbal agreement reached in principle with Bayer Leverkusen on a deal worth up to €150 million with add-ons. The player agreed terms two weeks ago. Medical and contract signing next.”
The staggering price tag has left fans stunned.
One fan reacted:
“Bayer Leverkusen are laughing all the way to the bank — since when does Liverpool overpay like this?”
Another commented:
“€150 million? That’s insane!”
Others chimed in with:
“Crazy money,” and “HOW MUCH?!”
One fan even compared the cost:
“We got Cherki, Reijnders, and Aït-Nouri for under €120 million combined.”
Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg added further weight to the news, reporting that the Wirtz deal is expected to break three records:
Most expensive sale in Bundesliga history
Liverpool’s biggest signing ever
Premier League’s most costly transfer to date
Wirtz’s expected arrival will be a huge boost for Liverpool as they look to defend their Premier League title next season. He’ll also reunite with former Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong, who joined the Reds last month.
