Florian Wirtz - Welcome to LFC

****ing amazing stuff! What a player as well!

This window is looking ****ing ace. I'm a big fan of Frimpong, Kerkes looks the absolute business and Wirtz is Szobo with goals and assists. Usually we go in to the new season hoping that new signings will do well, but this time I think we'll go into it knowing that we have bought the best and are a better team than last season, and that's from the position of champions.

It's going to be all about how slot forms the starting 11 and gets the best out of attacking fullbacks and a maestro number 10, it could look quite different.

We are a quality striker away from having the league wrapped up by CHristmas

Biggest signing since Torres IMO. VVD and Ali didn’t have the gravitas this guy has, City, Bayern, Real were all interested

Liverpool have agreed a £116m deal to sign Germany attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

The fee includes a guaranteed £100m and a further £16m in add-ons.

Those bonus payments would become payable if the Reds achieve a sustained level of success at elite level - and would only then become a British record.

The British record for an initial fee remains Chelsea's £107m signing of Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Benfica in 2023.

Chelsea also brought in Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo for an initial £100m fee, which could rise to £115m.

Manchester City had been keen on Wirtz before cooling their interest because of the costs involved in the deal, while Bayern Munich were also linked with him.

Wirtz made his debut for Leverkusen at the age of 17, scoring 57 goals in 197 games for the club.

He helped them win the Bundesliga for the first time in 2024 and has scored seven goals in 31 appearances for Germany since making his national debut in 2021.
