Liverpool increased the package for Florian Wirtz at almost 135 million euros, and Leverkusen gives up pressure. The German offensive midfielder, who already understood with the England champion on the contract until 2030 and the salary of 10 million euros annually, should make the medical visit at the beginning of next week.
Several sources from Germany and England are sure the agreement between Liverpool and Leverkusen about moving Florian Wirtz to the team from Anfield.

Even Bild writes today that Bayer does not take into account the 22-year-old international in the South American summer tour, scheduled between July 14 and 24, a sign that the midfielder is no longer part of the plans for season 2025-26.
The German tabloid also gives the information that Wirtz beat the palm with Liverpool regarding the duration of the contract and the salary he will receive at the team prepared by Arne Slot: 10 million euros net annually by 2030.

If the confirmation from the vice -champion of the Bundesligii will arrive, then there are great chances that the move of Florian Wirtz equals the most expensive move in the history of Premier League: Philippe Coutinho to Liverpool to Barcelona, in January 2018, the Brazilian costing 135 million euros.

However, the amount paid by “Cormorants” will break the record for the most expensive purchase in England, currently owned by Enzo Fernandez from Benfica to Chelsea (January 2023) in exchange for 121 million euros.
The package prepared by Liverpool for Wirtz is a base of 100 million pounds and bonuses (quite easy to reach) of 13 million, equivalent to 134-135 million euros. 10% less than the initial claims of Bayer Leverkusen.
The first offer, of 125 million euros, had been refused by Leverkusen, which left very hard at the price, although Florian Wirtz expressed his desire to play in Liverpool, not taking into account another option, Bayern, Manchester City or Real Madrid, who were courting him.
