German international Florian Wirtz, who fueled transfer rumors with a social media post on Tuesday night, is reportedly on the verge of joining Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen.
Sources suggest the transfer fee could exceed £126 million, potentially making him one of the most expensive signings in the club’s history. Fabrizio Romano reports that the two clubs are currently finalizing the remaining details of the deal.
However, there’s a possible hurdle — German outlet BILD warns that the move could collapse if Wirtz picks up an injury while on international duty.
Liverpool supporters will be watching closely as Wirtz is expected to play in Germany’s Nations League semi-final against Portugal on Wednesday. With Jamal Musiala ruled out, Wirtz is set to take on a pivotal role in the midfield.
The 22-year-old is coming off a sensational season, tallying 16 goals and 15 assists, and is reportedly enthusiastic about joining Arne Slot’s Liverpool project.
While the club has yet to confirm the deal officially, Romano maintains it’s nearly done — and Liverpool fans have every reason to be excited!
