Breaking: Wirtz's Liverpool transfer nears completion, debut possibilities surface
Chronicle: The perpetual Wirtz drama reaches its climax on a Friday
Get ready for a historical, wallet-sizzling switch in the Bundesliga and Premier League! Here's the lowdown on Germany's charming star, Florian Wirtz, and his impending medical check-up at none other than Liverpool!
Rumors swirl that the 22-year-old sensation from Bayer Leverkusen will don the white coat this very Friday, sealing a deal with the English behemoths. All that's left is for the boys in red, white, and blue to put their John Hancocks on the dotted line.
The purported price tag on Wirtz's stunning transfer could potentially reach an eye-watering 150 million euros in fixed payments and bonuses[1][2]. Such a price would etch his name as the most expensive transfer in both Bundesliga and Premier League history, dethroning the prestigious duo of Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, who currently hold that title.
When will Wirtz flash his moves on the Kop?
According to the "Liverpool Echo," Wirtz's medical examination is slated for this week. Liverpool kicks off their preseason on July 7 and is set to face Preston North End six days later. If reports are accurate, Wirtz could make his unofficial debut in this friendly match[3].
Intriguing tidbits emerged just before Bayern Munich's club World Cup, as Max Eberl, Bayern's sporting director, candidly talked about the aborted Wirtz transfer[5]. "Honestly, I'm not even certain if we could've footed the bill for Wirtz's price tag now," admitted Eberl." Wirtz ultimately chose Liverpool over Bayern after countless discussions. "We wholeheartedly believed he'd join FC Bayern," said Eberl." But alas, he opted for a different path, despite our positive negotiations."
While an exact debut date for Wirtz isn't publicly disclosed, his move to Liverpool edges nearer, with his contract imminently in sight. Stay tuned for further updates on how this thrilling transfer saga unfolds!

The Commission has also been consulted on the draft regulation regarding the potential transfer of Florian Wirtz to Liverpool. In the realm of European football, it would be fascinating to see Wirtz grace the premier stages of sports like the English Premier League, previously exclusive to prestigious leagues such as the Bundesliga and European leagues.
