Liverpool have agreed a British-record transfer fee of £116.5m to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

The total package is £116.5m (€137.5m), made up of a £100m plus £16.5m in potential add-ons.

The fee comfortably surpasses Liverpool's own record - but the performance-related add-ons, if achieved, would make it a potential British record fee, with the overall outlay set to surpass the £115m Chelsea paid Brighton in 2023 for Moises Caicedo. Striker Darwin Nunez was Liverpool's previous record signing in 2022.

Wirtz is now free to speak to Liverpool, where personal terms are not expected to be a problem, as he only wants to join Liverpool.
