Florian Wirtz’s move to Liverpool is nearing completion after a reported breakthrough on Friday.

The transfer of Florian Wirtz to Liverpool FC is reportedly just a formality now. 

According to Kicker, Bayer Leverkusen and the Premier League champions have reached an advanced stage in negotiations, with “no serious doubts” remaining about the deal.

A breakthrough was reportedly reached on Friday, with a final agreement on a deal worth around €150 million said to be imminent.

Wirtz is expected to sign a contract with Liverpool through 2030, earning an annual salary of €20–22 million.

The Reds beat out strong competition from Manchester City, Real Madrid as well as Bayern Munich, who were long considered frontrunners for the 22-year-old.
