Breaking: Wirtz's Record-Breaking Move to Liverbirds on the Horizon
Framement: The perpetual drama surrounding Friday and Wirtz reaches its conclusion
The talk of the town in the football world is the incoming transfer of German national powerhouse, Florian Wirtz, to none other than FC Liverpool - a move that could set a new record in both the Bundesliga and the English Premier League. Get ready for this staggering shift!
The ink is about to dry on the long-awaited transfer agreement between Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool, according to reports from credible sports outlet, The Athletic. The 22-year-old phenom will be undergoing his mandatory medical checkup at the Anfield troupe this Friday, clearing the last hurdle before penning his name on a lucrative five-year contract that binds him to the Reds until 2030.
Initial reports suggest that the transfer package could reach a whopping €150 million, comprising both a fixed sum and performance-based add-ons. If the numbers prove true, Wirtz will become the priciest transfer in Bundesliga history and the third most expensive in the illustrious ranks of football, only trailblazing behind Neymar and Mbappé's transfers to Paris Saint-Germain.
Time to Debut on the Premier League Stage?
Liverpool’s exhilarating journey to the 2022-23 season kickoff is edging closer. According to eyewitness accounts from the Liverpool Echo, Wirtz’s medical examination is scheduled to take place this week, giving us a clue about his potential Liverpool debut. The Reds will initiate their pre-season training on July 7, followed by a friendly match against Preston North End six days later.
Word on the grapevine is that Wirtz may grace the Anfield turf during this friendly match, making an unofficial introduction to the Liverpool faithful.
Bayern Munich’s Sporting Director, Max Eberl, recently shared some intriguing insights about Wirtz's sudden change of heart, just before Bayern’s Club World Cup league. " frankly, I have my doubts whether we could afford his price now that Liverpool seem set to seal the deal," he revealed. "He had extended discussions with us, and despite the exciting conversations, he ultimately decided to opt for Liverpool." Eberl continued, "We were convinced that he would be a fantastic addition to our team, and the whole club expressed our enthusiasm for his signing. However, he made a different decision in the end, despite our engaging talks."
