Liverpool supporters have been handed a major update by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, as the club edges closer to completing a sensational deal for Bundesliga sensation Florian Wirtz. The German international, who currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen, is reportedly on the verge of making a high-profile switch to Anfield, with talks between the two clubs reaching their final stages.
Wirtz, 22, has fueled speculation about his move after dropping what appeared to be a major hint on social media on Tuesday night. The excitement surrounding his potential arrival has only intensified, with Romano confirming via @DaveOCKOP on X that Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are finalizing the remaining aspects of the agreement. The proposed transfer is expected to cost the Reds upwards of £126 million, placing it among the most expensive signings in the club’s history.
The transfer, however, comes with a slight caveat. According to German newspaper BILD, the deal could still be jeopardized if Wirtz suffers an injury while representing Germany on international duty. The attacking midfielder is set to feature prominently in the UEFA Nations League semi-final clash against Portugal on Wednesday. With fellow German star Jamal Musiala ruled out of the fixture, Wirtz is anticipated to take on a leading creative role for his national side — a position that could put him at greater risk of injury.
Liverpool fans will be watching the game with a mixture of excitement and nervous anticipation, knowing how crucial Wirtz’s fitness could be to securing the mega-deal. The young playmaker has just wrapped up a phenomenal season at Leverkusen, scoring 16 goals and providing 15 assists across all competitions. His performances have drawn widespread praise and established him as one of the brightest young talents in European football.
Wirtz is reportedly enthusiastic about joining Liverpool and becoming a key part of new manager Arne Slot’s project at Anfield. His attacking flair and creative intelligence would provide a massive boost to the Reds as they look to evolve under new leadership following Jurgen Klopp’s departure.
While there has yet to be any official statement from the club confirming Wirtz’s arrival, Romano maintains that the transfer is nearly completed. If all goes smoothly, Liverpool fans could soon see one of Europe’s most promising talents donning the red shirt. With the deal edging closer to the finish line, excitement is building — and the countdown to a potentially era-defining signing has begun.
