As per media reports, Bayer Leverkusen's current playmaker, Florian Wirtz, has hopped aboard a private plane bound for England, ready to conquer the final hurdle in a record-breaking transfer to Liverpool FC. Could the announcement happen as soon as tomorrow?
German football sensation Florian Wirtz is gearing up for a new sports stage in England, according to Bild newspaper. Word on the street is that a private jet lifted off from Cologne Airport at 4:33 PM, set to drop off the 22-year-old prodigy in Manchester. Once there, the rumor mill suggests he'll be traveling to Liverpool for a mandatory medical exam ahead of his potential transfer to the English champs on Friday. Even photogs from Bild snapped pics of the Cologne Airport arrival.
Assuming no unforeseen roadblocks arise, it seems that the transfer of the Bundesliga's offensive ace from Bayer Leverkusen to the Premier League titans is official. Multiple outlets are buzzing about the medical exam taking place this very Friday.
Both teams have already agreed on a transfer package, as per media reports, which might consist of a lump sum and bonus payments amounting to an eye-watering 150 million euros. Wirtz could make history by being the costliest transfer in both Bundesliga and Premier League annals, besting the totals for Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.
Another Record-Breaking Deal in the Works?
With the ink drying on Wirtz's predicted switch to Liverpool, the Reds may be eyeing another sky-high transfer: Through the grapevine, the site "GIVEMESPORT" claims Liverpool is keen on nabbing former BVB striker Alexander Isak. The Premier League titans are rumored to throw down up to 175 million euros in total for the Newcastle United star, including add-ons. It seems like Liverpool wants another bold transfer up its sleeve following their recent Premier League victory and the staggering £116.5 million acquisition of Florian Wirtz.
