Florian Wirtz will be one of the highest earners of Liverpool when he completes his £ 116 million step from Bayer Leverkusen on Friday, with his wage overshadows much of the current harvest of players
Florian Wirtz will earn almost four times as much as Luis Diaz while playing for Liverpool. The attacking midsteller arrived in the northwest on Friday to complete a £ 116 million switch from Bayer Leverkusen, so that he is not only Liverpool's record club signature, but also one of the best-paid players in the current wage account.
Darwin Nunez currently has the record for the most money issued to a player and arrives in 2022 from Benfica in a deal with a value of a maximum of £ 85 million, including add-ons. The 22-year-old Wirtz, however, will surpass that figure and something when he draws on the dotted line.
In the meantime, it is expected that Wirtz Royaal will be compensated in the course of a reported five -year contract, in which Fabrizio Romano claims that the German national will receive £ 200,000 a week for his efforts, plus bonuses. For context, that is almost four times the £ 55,000 a week that Diaz currently receives, according to Spotrac.
Mohamed Salah is currently the best -paid star of the club and reportedly reaches £ 400,000 a week per week as a result of his new deal, while Capology reports that Virgil van Dijk recommends a weekly wage of around £ 350k. Wirtz will also earn more than Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch sound as rumors, given that the midfielders earn a salary of £ 150,000 a week.
Wirtz will also make more than double what deserves English international Joe Gomez, with the 28-year-old center half with a salary of approximately £ 85,000 a week. Vers of winning the Premier League this season, Arne Slot has not wasted time by strengthening his team with De Hoop defending the title in 2025/26.
The Dutchman recruited Full-back Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen for a five-year-old deal at the end of May after activating the release clause of £ 29.5 million of the 24-year-old in the aftermath of the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid. It seems that he would like to further strengthen his defense with the acquisition of Crystal Palace Center half Marc Guehi.
Although Liverpool has not yet made a formal offer for Guehi, the Reds can be in the best position to secure his services if they decide. The 24-year-old entered the Eagles in the last year of his contract, but a deal will not be cheap, as is apparent from Newcastle United who rejected four bids for him last summer.
Tottenham has meanwhile reportedly offered a package worth a maximum of £ 70 million to seduce Guehi to North Londs in January, but saw their progress reduced. As Liverpool, the arrival of Wirtz perhaps twice their own record transfer will break through in the same summer, reporting to the Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
The Swedish National has set fire to the Premier League since he went to St. James' Park of Real Sociedad in a relocation of £ 63 million in 2022 and 62 goals scored in 109 games. However, if Liverpool hopes to pry the 25-year-old away from the club in which he is apparently established, they will have to pay a ridiculous amount.
Until 2028, Newcastle has put a good price tag on Isak on Isak this summer and Eddie Howe has encouraged the board not to let the Talisman leave. He said: “Alex is under contract, we love him to pieces, and we want him to stay. We want him to score goals for Newcastle for many years. That is my plan.”
