Florian Wirtz looks set to complete his move to Liverpool this week, although the German international has already been seen at the Reds’ training ground ahead of his medical
It’s happening. Florian Wirtz to Liverpool is basically done, and honestly, it still doesn’t feel real. We’re talking about one of the best young midfielders in Europe, about to rock up at Anfield — and we beat the whole continent to get him.
💣 Big Money, Big Move
The numbers are wild — around $136m up front with another $22m in add-ons. Easily a Premier League record deal. But when you think about it, it’s Wirtz. This lad ran the show for Leverkusen all season, and he’s only 22.
It’s not just a flashy transfer either — this is a footballer who fits Liverpool. Press-resistant, smart on the ball, works hard off it, and isn’t afraid to scrap when needed. He’s not one of those soft No.10s who goes missing in tough games. Nah, this one’s built different.
👀 Already Touched Down?
Apparently he’s landing Thursday, medical on Friday, and we could get an official reveal any time after that. No leaks yet about shirt number, but you already know the fanbase is ready to hit refresh all day until we get that Fabrizio “Here we go.”
The funniest part? Wirtz has actually trained at the AXA before. Leverkusen used our facilities before a UCL game last year — man’s already had a sneak peek at his new home and probably thought, “Yeah, I’ll take this.”
👏 Dietmar Hamann Gets It
Even Didi Hamann’s buzzing:
“He’ll be the best player in the team.”
And honestly? He might not be wrong. Slot’s cooking something big here, and Wirtz is the flavour.

So What’s Next?
• Kerkez is basically done. His uncle’s already chatting like it’s signed, sealed, delivered.
• Darwin Nunez is expected to leave, which opens the door for…
• A big No. 9 signing next — we’re hearing Isak or Ekitike, and even Osimhen’s name is flying around.

🚨 Final Thought
This isn’t just a big transfer. This is a message.
Liverpool are tired of being almost-there. With Wirtz, Frimpong, and more coming in, we’re not just rebuilding — we’re reloading.
Arne Slot didn’t come to play.
Wirtz in Red is happening.
And Anfield’s about to get loud again.
