Liverpool supporters eager for updates on Florian Wirtz’s potential arrival at Anfield have just received a major development, thanks to German outlet Bild.
Journalists Phillip Arens and Axel Hesse report that Wirtz has agreed to a long-term deal running until 2030.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is expected to take part in his first Liverpool training session on July 7, aligning perfectly with the beginning of Arne Slot’s pre-season plans.
Wirtz is also slated to make his debut in a friendly against Preston North End at Deepdale on July 13. After that, he’s set to join the club’s Asian tour, which features matches against AC Milan in Hong Kong on July 26 and Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan on July 30.
What Wirtz’s arrival means for Liverpool’s pre-season plans
By providing specific dates for Wirtz’s integration—his training debut on July 7 and match debut on July 13—Bild has offered fans a clear roadmap of what to expect in the coming weeks.
Key Dates for Wirtz at Liverpool:
First training session: July 7
Debut vs Preston: July 13
Asian tour fixtures: July 26 (AC Milan) & July 30 (Yokohama F. Marinos)
This timeline helps bring clarity to a transfer window full of uncertainty, and with Jeremie Frimpong and Armin Pecsi already signed, plus the departures of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Caoimhin Kelleher, Liverpool’s squad reshaping is well underway.
The arrival of a prolific creative force like Wirtz—who racked up 16 goals and 15 assists last season—sends a strong message that the club intends to build on its Premier League-winning success.
With transfer figures now emerging and key dates confirmed, speculation is beginning to give way to anticipation. It now seems less a question of if Wirtz will join, and more about when the deal will be sealed.
