Sound the Alarm! Florian Wirtz Heads to Liverpool in a Record-Breaking Transfer at 16:33
At 16:33, Florian Wirtz embarked on his journey toward the future.
Things are moving fast! Bayer Leverkusen's current playmaker, Florian Wirtz, is allegedly jetting off to England to tie up the final details for a mind-blowing transfer to FC Liverpool. Get ready for the announcement—it might be as early as Friday!
German powerhouse Florian Wirtz appears to have taken off for his next sporting adventure in England. According to Bild, a private jet departed from Cologne airport at 16:33 to whisk the 22-year-old away to Manchester. After that, he's expected to make his way to Liverpool, where he'll undergo a mandatory medical check for the record-breaking transfer to Liverpool on Friday. Bild even posted pictures of Wirtz's arrival at Cologne airport.
If everything goes smoothly, the transfer of this dazzling offensive player from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen to the English champions is now just about sealed. Other media outlets have also reported on the medical check planned for this Friday.
Both teams have agreed on a transfer package that's said to include a fixed amount and bonus payments totaling a whopping €150 million. Wirtz would set a new record as the most expensive transfer in both Bundesliga and Premier League history. So far, only Neymar and Kylian Mbappé have been transferred for even more money by Paris Saint-Germain.
Record-Breaking Transfer on the Horizon?
Wirtz is reportedly signing a deal with Liverpool that will keep him there until 2030. Other top European clubs were eyeing this high-demand pro as well, but Liverpool beat them all to the punch. Even Bayern Munich had high hopes of securing the coveted player, but they got a big fat no.
Advance warning: Liverpool might be working on their next record-breaking transfer, according to "GIVEMESPORT." The portal claims that Liverpool has set its sights on former Borussia Dortmund striker Alexander Isak. For Newcastle United's top striker, up to €175 million with all bonus payments could change hands. Liverpool is rumored to be ready for another high-profile transfer.
