Wirtz undergoes medical examination at FC Liverpool on Friday
Ready to witness a blockbuster move unfold? It seems like Friday's gonna be a big day as rumors swirl that German prodigy Florian Wirtz is set to undergo his medical exam at none other than Liverpool! If everything goes smoothly, a jaw-dropping five-year contract could be his for the signing.
The transfer fees involved in this mind-blowing deal are reportedly somewhere between £116 million and £116.5 million, smashing previous British records and potentially climbing up the Bundesliga's all-time transfer charts[1][2][3]. This whopping sum includes an upfront payment of £100 million, with additional £16–£16.5 million in potential add-ons.
Wirtz appears to be head over heels for the Reds as he's been spotted only wanting a move to Merseyside during this transfer window, disregarding the winks from other top European clubs[3]. His electrifying 2024–25 season with Bayer Leverkusen, which saw him score 10 goals and dish out 12 assists in just 25 starts, played a crucial role in Leverkusen's runner-up finish in the Bundesliga[3].
Timing-wise, Wirtz is slated to undergo his medical testing this week, although precise dates are shrouded in mystery[2][3]. One thing's for sure—if this transfer goes through, it'll make history and should be a wild ride to watch! So fasten your seatbelts, football fans! This summer's transfer window is just heating up[1][2][3].
