Manchester City gave up on the exorbitant price, Bayern was a favorite for his signature, but Florian Wirtz (22 years old) changed the direction and decided to sign with Liverpool, becoming one of the most expensive transfers of all time. “Cormorants” will pay Bayer Leverkusen no less than 150 million euros.
The exclusive news was launched by the well -known journalist Sasa Volitijeri, who announced that Wirtz is already informed of Bayern's officials that he would go to England. Liverpool remains to complete the agreement with Bayern for the impressive amount of 150 million euros, according to Sportal.blic.rs.
Florian Wirtz, to Liverpool
This will be the third largest transfer in football history, immediately after Kylian Mbappé (180 million euros) and Neymar (222 million euros), which is all the more remarkable as the new champion of England is known for his reluctance to spend astronomical amounts on transfers.
The key meeting took place last week. While Wirtz was courted by Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern, Liverpool was strongly involved in this battle and organized a visit from Wirtz and his family to England. There, they were presented with the club plan and the huge desire for the German international to play Anfield.
Liverpool organized the trip after receiving permission from Bayer Leverkusen. During their stay in England, Wirtz and his family also met with Manchester City representatives, but obviously, Liverpool's project was much more attractive.
