Liverpool Football Club has officially completed the signing of German midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. The transfer, confirmed on June 20, 2025, is a club-record deal with a reported fee of approximately £116.5 million (around 136 to 150 million euros). This makes Wirtz the most expensive signing in Liverpool's history, the highest transfer fee ever paid in the Premier League, and the most costly sale in Bundesliga history. At 22 years old, Wirtz has signed a five-year contract with Liverpool. The transfer ranks as the third most expensive in football history, behind Neymar and Mbappé, and is the sixth highest overall in the sport. Wirtz expressed his ambition to win trophies annually and cited Liverpool's status as a top-three club globally as a key factor in his decision to join. The deal surpasses previous British transfer records, including Chelsea's £115 million acquisition of Moises Caicedo. Liverpool secured Wirtz to strengthen their squad following their Premier League title victory, signaling their intent to remain competitive at the highest level.
