The Florian Wirtz transfer saga is set to come to an end very soon, and it will be a positive conclusion for Liverpool fans.
According to the Athletic, the current plan is for Wirtz to arrive in the United Kingdom later this week following his holiday, with his medical examination scheduled for Friday.
While this timeline is subject to change, all parties are working toward finalizing the deal before the end of the week.
Liverpool have already concluded club-to-club negotiations to secure the services of the 22-year-old midfielder for a total fee of €136.3 million (£116 million), which includes an upfront payment of €117.5 million (£100 million) and a further €18.8 million in performance-based add-ons.
This landmark deal represents the biggest transfer in Liverpool’s history, surpassing all previous signings made by the club.
For Bayer Leverkusen, the sale of Wirtz also sets a new record as their most expensive outgoing transfer.
If all the add-ons are met, the deal could even establish a new British transfer record, overtaking the current benchmark set by Chelsea for Moises Caicedo.
Liverpool hope to have the transfer “fully signed off and completed by Friday”. The 22-year-old is expected to sign a five-year contract that will keep him at Anfield until 2030.
And now Sky Germany has reported that if everything goes according to plan during the medical, he will be officially announced as a Liverpool player on Friday as well:
“The announcement of the Florian Wirtz transfer is planned for Friday.”
“Everything is done and sealed – medical has been booked.”
The club has already completed the signing of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen for £29.5 million and Hungarian goalkeeper Armin Pecsi for £1.5 million.
Liverpool are also close to finalizing a deal for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, with negotiations at an advanced stage for a package worth between £40-45 million.
These signings come amid significant outgoings, including Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure to Real Madrid and Caoimhin Kelleher joining Brentford
