Liverpool are set to welcome midfielder Florian Wirtz on Thursday, with a medical examination scheduled for the following day. The 25-year-old attacking midfielder, known for his creative playmaking abilities, is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Reds, keeping him at the club until June 2030. Wirtz, who has been under contract with Bayer Leverkusen, is anticipated to be unveiled shortly after completing his medical.
According to previous reports, Liverpool’s pursuit of Wirtz has been ongoing for several months, with the Reds making a formal approach for the player in May. The transfer is reportedly worth €150m, making it a significant signing for the club. Wirtz has been with Bayer Leverkusen for his entire professional career, having progressed through the club’s youth academy. His style of play is characterised by his vision, passing range, and ability to control the tempo of the game. With Liverpool’s existing squad dynamics, the addition of Wirtz is expected to bring further depth and creativity to the team’s midfield.
