Ready those red jerseys, folks, because Florian Wirtz's monumental move to Liverpool is just around the corner! According to the scoop dropped by the Sports juggernaut, The Athletic, the 22-year-old German sensation from Bayer Leverkusen is all set to undergo the official medical with the English champions this very Friday. All that's left afterward is the grand signature!
Rumors have swirled for quite some time that the two clubs have struck a deal, and boy, what a deal it is! Reportedly, the transfer fee, a staggering sum of roughly €136.3 million (£116 million or $157.8 million), breaks the previous Premier League record held by Chelsea for Moisés Caicedo's £115 million deal in 2023.

Wirtz has been a long-coveted target for Liverpool, who've been in persistent contact with the young prodigy and his family for years. His decision to pledge his allegiance to Liverpool over Bayern Munich and Manchester City was allegedly influenced by a secret meeting with their manager Arne Slot and a captivating tour of the Kirkby academy. The facilities left an indelible impression on him and his family, tipping the scales in Liverpool's favor.
The medical appointment is scheduled for Friday, June 20, 2025, with Wirtz expected to jet to the UK later this week to pass his physical exams. Once he passes with flying colors, he's set to sign a lucrative five-year contract, keeping him with Liverpool until 2030!
In essence, it seems the transfer is all but official, with the medical examination scheduled imminently, followed by the contract signing. Liverpool will splash a record-breaking £116 million to acquire Wirtz, adding a major talent to their squad as they hold off competitive bids from Bayern Munich and Manchester City. [1][2][4]
