  • The transfer package is reported to include up to €150 million in fees, making Wirtz the most expensive German footballer and Liverpool’s record signing.
  • Wirtz has agreed a long-term deal and is set to rank among Liverpool’s top earners with an annual salary of around €20 million.
  • The German international cited the opportunity for a new challenge and Arne Slot’s sporting plan as key factors in his decision to leave the Bundesliga.
