Liverpool has agreed to pay a transfer fee of 116 million pounds ($157 million) for attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

The 22-year-old registered 16 goals and 15 assists across 45 games in 2024-25, as Leverkusen finished second in the Bundesliga.

Florian Wirtz knows what it is to be a wanted man. And now, six years after catching the eye of some of the game's biggest clubs, Wirtz is making the second high profile, contentious move of his career.
