The initial demand from Bayer Leverkusen was for £127m, but the club reduced their price after other teams, Manchester City and Bayern Munich, dropped out of the transfer race. This move is significant because it surpasses the current British record of £115m, which Chelsea paid to Brighton for Moises Caicedo two years ago.
Wirtz was scheduled to undergo a medical exam at Liverpool this week, but he decided to go on holiday instead. As a result, his medical tests are expected to be conducted after his summer break.
The transfer deal is a testament to Liverpool's commitment to bringing top talent to their team. With Wirtz on board, the club hopes to achieve greater success in the upcoming season.
