The Deluge of Rumors Concerning German Footballing Phenom Florian Wirtz's Transfer to Liverpool is Mounting. Insiders Report a Medical Exam Scheduled for this Week, Paving the Way for History's Most Expensive Transfer in Bundesliga and the Premier League.
The headline-grabbing transfer of German national footballing prodigy Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen to FC Liverpool appears to be edging closer to the finish line. According to reports from The Athletic, the 22-year-old's medical examinations with the esteemed English club are slated for this very week. The ink on the contract remains to be dried.
Both teams have reportedly reached an agreement on the transfer fee, which could soar as high as a whopping 150 million euros, incorporating both fixed amounts and incentive-based payments[1][2]. Such a tidy sum would catapult Wirtz to the forefront of the most monstrous transfer fees ever witnessed in the Bundesliga and the English Premier League. Only Neymar and Kylian Mbappé of Paris Saint-Germain have elicited higher transfer fees to date.
When Can We Anticipate Wirtz's Liverpool Debut?
As per the Liverpool Echo's publication last Friday, Wirtz's much-anticipated medical examinations are anticipated to occur before the week's end[3]. Liverpool's pre-season preparations are set to commence on July 7, followed by a friendly match against Preston North End on July 13. Rumors abound that Wirtz could grace the pitch for his unofficial Liverpool debut in this contest.
Preceding this, Bayern Munich's sporting director Max Eberl had disclosed some intriguing insights concerning Wirtz's abrupt decision to spurn Bayern in favor of Liverpool. " Frankly, I'm unsure if we would have been capable of footing the bill that Liverpool seems destined to pay," Eberl admitted during post-match commentary in Orlando.
The 22-year-old had, following extensive negotiations, ultimately opted against Bayern and instead pledged his allegiance to Liverpool. "Suffice it to say, the entire club collectively lauded the athlete as remarkable," Eberl reflected. "We could fathom without reservation that he would be a prime candidate for FC Bayern." However, Wirtz ultimately chose a different path, despite engendering a positive rapport during discussions.

The Commission has not yet adopted a decision on the application of Article 93 (2) of the Treaty regarding the record-breaking transfer of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen to FC Liverpool, which could make him the most expensive sports-analysis figure in both the Bundesliga and the English Premier League. Despite the high-profile negotiations, it remains unclear which sports club, be it FC Bayern Munich or FC Liverpool, will ultimately win the race to sign the sought-after footballer.
