Florian Wirtz to Liverpool, Final Offer Confirmed at €140m
€140 million package comprises a fixed transfer fee and realistic add-ons.
It has been dragging like that Titanic meme. It feels like we have been waiting 84 years for the Florian Wirtz deal to finally reach a conclusion. But now, it looks like we are entering the final stretch. Bayer Leverkusen are expecting what is likely to be Liverpool’s final written offer for Wirtz, and it is a big one: €140 million, a package made up of a fixed transfer fee and realistic add-ons.
To be clear, no medical has been scheduled yet, but all signs indicate an agreement being reached in the coming days. That is not speculation or wishful thinking; it is the message coming out of Leverkusen. We are not dealing with silly instalments or dreamland clauses; this is Liverpool putting forward a serious final offer.
Liverpool Mean Business
Liverpool do not operate with endless rounds of negotiations. This is not seven or eight offers. This is the point where compromise is in play. Leverkusen have repeatedly made it clear that they want €150 million. But we all know Wirtz has two years left on his deal. He does not want to renew, and he wants to come to Liverpool. That changes the dynamic.
The reported €140 million offer includes achievable add-ons and some very difficult-to-trigger bonuses. Liverpool is not overpaying, but they understand Wirtz is a top-tier talent. This deal structure reflects that balance.
Respect From All Parties
Florian Wirtz deserves credit, too. He has handled this situation respectfully; no drama, demands, or disappearing acts. He is expected to start for Germany against France today, and Julian Nagelsmann confirmed that no players have been told to withdraw.
Liverpool want him, Wirtz wants Liverpool, and it feels like we are nearly there.
Bigger Picture Under Slot
It is not just about Wirtz. Think of Salah, Van Dijk and Alisson. These are world-class players, but we probably have two more years of their peak. Bringing in someone like Florian Wirtz fits the profile of where the club needs to go under Arne Slot.
If this deal gets done, and all signs say it will, it will be a massive statement by Liverpool. €140 million is well spent, in my opinion.
