After several rejected bids, Liverpool have now agreed a deal to sign Wirtz for a whopping €136.3 million (£116.1 million, $157.8 million)—making Wirtz the most expensive sale in Bundesliga history and setting him up to break the Premier League transfer record if all add-ons are met.

The 22-year-old registered 16 goals and 15 assists across 45 games in 2024-25, as Leverkusen finished second in the Bundesliga.

The most important thing is that Wirtz gives us options. He can rotate with Mac Allister and Szoboszlai but I see him working best in the Firmino role, with Salah and Diaz running into goal scoring positions.
