Liverpool was very active on the transfer market this summer, and the signature of number two was now formalized by the Premier League champions.
Earlier in June, Liverpool announced the signature of Jeremie Frimpong de Bayer Leverkusen, who was brought to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold after his move to Real Madrid. And a second player from the Bundesliga team will now continue his career in Anfield.
Friday, Liverpool made the long -awaited announcement that Florian Wirtz had joined the Leverkusen club.
Liverpool completed 150 million euros in signing from Florian Wirtz
As previously indicated by Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool will pay a total of 150 million euros for the signing of Wirtz, which makes him the new record arrival of the club. In addition to that, he is in pencil to earn a base salary of £ 200,000 per week, which makes him one of the highest wages of the first team of Arne Slot team.
Liverpool has very high hopes for Wirtz, and this was clearly indicated in the finances splashed to bring it. Alongside Mohamed Salah, he will be the main hope of attack on the club, but there is no doubt that there will be strong pressure on him to perform in the Premier League and in the Championship League.
Wirtz reports number two for Liverpool this summer, and number three should follow quickly – that being Milos Kerkez. An agreement has been agreed for the left rear of Bournemouth, which should join in the region of 40 million pounds sterling.
And Liverpool will not be done there. They also envisage a movement for Marc Guehi to replace Jarell Quansah, who should move in the direction of Wirtz. There is also an interest in Alexander Isak, although concluding an agreement with Newcastle will be extremely difficult to accomplish.
What Florian Wirtz said about Liverpool’s transfer
Addressing the club’s official site, Wirtz said: “I feel very happy and very proud. Finally, it’s done and I was waiting for a long time – well it’s done and I am really happy.”
On his decision to join the Reds, he added: “I just thought it was the right point of my career to make the next step and of course, I wanted to go to a club that comes from the first three in the world, and in my opinion, Liverpool was one.
“I just saw myself in the best hands in Liverpool. I was really convinced by people here, by the idea, and all that the club offered me was really good. And at the end [it was] As easy to be excited for me to come to Liverpool. »»
