Florian Wirtz is on the cusp of becoming a Liverpool player and in the process will become the most expensive transfer the club has ever completed. The Reds will pay Bayer Leverkusen an initial fee

Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for an initial $135 million, according to CBS Sports sources. The agreement to sign the German international could ultimately break the British transfer record set by Chelsea when they signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for just short of $145 million.
