Florian Wirtz and Liverpool have dominated transfer headlines ever since it was revealed that the German was up for grabs this summer.
Arne Slot has managed to fend off Bayern Munich and Manchester City to get a deal for Wirtz over the line, with the Reds looking to retain the Premier League title next season.
Regarding the deal, from the recent reports that have surfaced, it seems like everything aside from the transfer fee for Wirtz and the structure of those payments have been agreed upon.

David Lynch has even said that Wirtz’s Liverpool medical could take place over the coming days.
Bayer Leverkusen are ecstatic that Florian Wirtz didn’t choose to make the move to Bayern Munich
The fact that Liverpool have managed to beat Bayern to the transfer of Wirtz is nothing short of a miracle.
As has been the case for as long as many can remember, Bayern often end up buying the best players from the Bundesliga, with no other clubs having a chance to sign their stars.
And, while speaking on ESPN FC, Jan Aage Fjortoft gave his thoughts on the deal and how Leverkusen are likely feeling.
“The main thing for Liverpool fans to relax is that Florian Wirtz told Bayern that ‘I’m not coming to Bayern I’m going to Liverpool,” he said.

“They will find a solution, Bayer Leverkusen will look for that solution, Bayer Leverkusen are so happy that he won’t play for Bayern although that is a tradition that Bayern will get the best players in Germany.”
Liverpool could be on the brink of creating a superteam next season
Liverpool may have emerged as the best team in England last season, but that doesn’t mean they can’t go even bigger and better next season.
With Jeremie Frimpong’s Anfield switch already confirmed and Wirtz’s move almost there as well, it’s hard to see how Slot’s men won’t be in the running for the title once again in the 2025-26 season.
With players such as Jarell Quansah and Darwin Nunez on the cusp of leaving Liverpool, it’s clear that a fair few changes are going to be made at the club.
And, should Liverpool bring in the likes of Alexander Isak or Hugo Ekitike this summer, it feels like they’d be close to unstoppable.

On the face of things, that is exactly what they need to be if they want to make a charge for the Champions League title after they were knocked out by eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain this term.
Of course, only time will tell what the future holds, but at the moment, it’s anyone’s guess how things could end up at Anfield when the 2025-26 season kicks off.
