Rumours
The biggest transfer rumours and gossip from Friday, 13 June as Liverpool close in on a sensational deal to sign Florian Wirtz.
Wirtz to Liverpool agreed
After a long battle, Liverpool have reached an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen over a transfer fee for Florian Wirtz.
Sources vary in their reporting in the size of this deal. While The Times suggests that the total value of the transfer will be worth €135 million, Sky Sport Deutschland indicates that it will be more like €130m upfront with as much as €20m to follow in bonuses.
In either case, Wirtz will become Liverpool’s most expensive signing ever.
