Fabrizio Romano has delivered another huge update for Liverpool fans as the Reds close in on Bundesliga superstar Florian Wirtz!
The German international, who hinted at his Anfield move on social media Tuesday night, is nearly set to join Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen.
According to reports, the transfer fee could exceed £126 million, making it one of the biggest deals in the club’s history. Romano, via @DaveOCKOP on X, revealed both clubs are now finalizing the last details of the agreement.
However, there’s a twist — German outlet BILD warns the deal could collapse if Wirtz suffers an injury while on international duty this week.
Liverpool fans will be hoping he stays fit as he’s expected to start for Germany against Portugal in the Nations League semi-final on Wednesday. With Jamal Musiala out, all eyes will be on Wirtz to be his country’s creative engine.
The 22-year-old is coming off a red-hot season with 16 goals and 15 assists, and he’s said to be fully on board with joining Arne Slot’s Liverpool revolution.
While the club has yet to officially confirm the signing, Romano insists the deal is nearly done. Reds fans — it’s time to get excited!
