Florian Wirtz Makes Premier League Admission and Reveals Truth About £116m Liverpool Transfer Issue - Liverpool Echo

MERSEYSIDE, ENGLAND, AUG 5 – Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool for an initial £100 million, potentially rising to £116 million, focusing on helping the team defend their Premier League title under manager Arne Slot.

  • In June 2025, Liverpool secured the signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for an initial fee of £100 million, which could increase to £116 million with additional clauses.
  • Liverpool pursued Wirtz amid a busy summer transfer window overshadowed by the death of Diogo Jota and his brother in a car crash last month.
  • Wirtz made a strong impression during Liverpool’s 3-2 friendly victory against Athletic Bilbao earlier this week and expressed optimism about adjusting to the physicality of the Premier League.
  • He expressed that his focus is simply on playing football and that the financial dealings between clubs are irrelevant to him, while also acknowledging his teammates and his continued progress.
  • Liverpool have spent over £250 million this summer on new players including Wirtz and continue to pursue striker Alexander Isak, whose £110 million bid was rejected last week.
