US EditionFlorian Wirtz to Liverpool - Medical, Jeremie Frimpong Meeting, Bayern Munich Transfer Response - Liverpool Echo
- Liverpool agreed a £116 million record deal in June 2025 to sign German midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, with a medical scheduled for Friday.
- The transfer followed Bayern Munich's decision not to match the fee Liverpool offered, despite their strong interest in Wirtz, as confirmed by Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl.
- Wirtz, who scored 34 goals in his last two Leverkusen seasons and six in the current Champions League, is set to reunite at Liverpool with Jeremie Frimpong, who already signed this summer.
- The deal includes an upfront payment of €117.5 million plus €18.8 million in add-ons, surpassing Chelsea's £115 million outlay for Moises Caicedo in 2023.
- Liverpool's acquisition of Wirtz highlights a deliberate emphasis on enhancing midfield creativity rather than focusing on forwards, with the player anticipated to commit to a long-term deal and play a key role in manager Arne Slot's tactical setup.
