The Germany International has completed its stunning switch to join the Premier League champions for a deal of five years with a value of around £ 50 million, with Liverpool who may pay £ 116 million if he meets the expectations on Anfield
Florian Wirtz wants to lead Liverpool to Premier League and Champions League Glory after his record £ 116 million move to Merseyside was officially made. The German star Wirtz, 22, completed his medical on the champions' training base before putting PEN on paper on a five -year contract worth around £ 50 million.
Bournemouth Left-back Milos Kerkez also goes to Liverpool after a fee of £ 40 million has been agreed on Friday, which means that the summer of the Reds comes more than £ 200 million and with even more.
Wirtz said: “I would like to win everything every year! In the end we want to be successful. Last season they won the Premier League, so my goal will certainly win again and continue in the Champions League. I am really ambitious.”
Wirtz leaves Leverkusen and helped them at the Bundesliga title and the German Cup in 2024 in a season that they were unbeaten in the interior. He scored 57 and created 65 goals in 197 performances for the German outfit for five season in the first team and the attacking midfielder is considered one of the best young players in the world.
Wirtz was great interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester City, but chose Merseyside. Liverpool pays £ 100 million in advance to Bayer Leverkusen with the rest in add-ons that are linked to both the individual success of the player and the team.
The deal for the Germany International will break the club record £ 85 million.
Wirtz added: “I feel very happy and very proud. Finally it is ready and I was waiting for a long time – finally it is ready and I am really happy.
“I am really excited to have a new adventure in front of me. This was also a big point of my thoughts: that I want something completely new to go out of the Bundesliga and to become a member of the Premier League.
“I will see how I can perform there. I hope I can do my best.”
Kerkez, 21, goes to Merseyside on Tuesday to undergo his medical with the Reds. And their expenses may not stop there, because it seems to rise to rise the £ 200 million.
Jeremie Frimpong has already been signed at Leverkusen for £ 29.5 million Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mhaldashvili arrives from Valencia for around £ 30 million after last season on loan with the La Liga Club.
Defender Jarell Quansah closes a £ 35 million to Bayer Leverkusen and that means that the Reds can move to Crystal Palace Center-back Marc Guehi.
While a striker remains a target, especially when Nunez leaves as expected. Newcastle frontman Alexander Isak is certainly admired in Liverpool. Although, the magpies are now under pressure to sell because of PSR rules, so that it would be a huge change in attitude to suddenly listen to offers.
The Reds will compensate for some of their summer expenses with the sale of players and they have already brought in £ 28 million from Caoimhin Kelleher who registers with Brentford and Trent Alexander-Arnold for the end of his contract for Real Madrid.
With the arrival of Kerkez, Andy Robertson is sending a possible move to Atletico Madrid while his place in the team is taken by the new arrival.
