Liverpool has agreed to pay a transfer fee of 116 million pounds ($157 million) for attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

Dietmar Hamann believes Florian Wirtz will thrive in the Premier League as he explained why Liverpool supporters will fall in love with the playmaker. It was confirmed on Friday morning that the Reds have agreed a £116 million deal with Bayer Leverkusen to sign the 22-year-old in what could become the most expensive British transfer ever.

Wirtz has topped 30 goal involvements in each of the last two seasons. He racked up 37 in 2023-24 as Leverkusen won the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double and reached the Europa League final, where defeat to Atalanta marked their sole loss of the season.
