Liverpool are on the verge of completing a sensational transfer for Bayer Leverkusen's midfield prodigy Florian Wirtz, with the deal reportedly worth a staggering €150 million.
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the 20-year-old German international has already given his approval for the move to Anfield, turning down advances from Bayern Munich in the process. The talented midfielder has reportedly informed Bayern officials of his decision to join the Merseyside club.
Wirtz has been in exceptional form this season, contributing directly to 31 goals across 45 appearances for Leverkusen, finding the net 16 times and providing 15 assists. His remarkable performances have established him as one of Europe's most coveted young talents.
The midfielder's current contract with Bayer Leverkusen runs until June 30, 2027, putting the German club in a strong negotiating position. Statbet performance data shows Wirtz ranks among the top midfielders in Europe for goal contributions this season, highlighting why Liverpool are willing to break their transfer record for his signature.
This potential deal follows reports that Jeremie Frimpong is also expected to complete a move to Liverpool soon, suggesting the Reds are planning a significant recruitment drive ahead of the new season.
