Harvey Elliott Claims Premier League Rival is Better than Florian Wirtz Despite £116m Liverpool Move
Harvey Elliott Names One Premier League Star Who is Better than Liverpool’s Record-Breaking Signing Florian WirtzLiverpool are never quiet in the transfer market, and this summer is proving no
Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for an initial $135 million, according to CBS Sports sources. The agreement to sign the German international could ultimately break the British transfer record set by Chelsea when they signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for just short of $145 million.
Bayer Leverkusen is in search of new talent to strengthen their team and has set their sights on Justin Kluivert as a possible substitute for Florian Wirtz. The German club has initiated discussions with AFC Bournemouth to explore the possibility of signing the 26-year-old player.
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.
Once thought of as the lead contender, Bayern Munich have been forced to watch on from afar as Florian Wirtz moves to Liverpool.
