David Ornstein of the Athletic confirmed the news on his official social media account on Monday, June 16 2025. He said Florian Wirtz will complete his medical this week and will be unveiled to the club's supporters.

"Florian Wirtz expected to arrive in UK later this week current plan for medical Friday before completing transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool. Fee £100m guaranteed + up to £16m add-ons to #Bayer04. Proposed 5-year contract with #LFC.”

Liverpool are set to break the transfer record fee by any British club in history after reaching an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz.

The Premier League Champions have agreed on a £116m deal to sign Germany attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. The fee includes a guaranteed £100m and a further £16m in add-ons.

The record for an initial transfer fee in the Premier League is still held by Chelsea Football Club when the Blues signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica in 2023 for £107m. The Blues also brought in Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo for an initial £100m fee, which could rise to £115m.

Darwin Nunez was brought in from Benfica in a deal worth an initial £64m and rising to a potential £85m with add-ons, while they paid £75m to sign centre-back Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in 2018.

Wirtz is set to become the second player Liverpool have bought from Bayer Leverkusen this summer, with right full-back Jeremie Frimpong having arrived in a £34m deal.

How many goals did Florian Wirtz score for Bayer Leverkusen?

He scored 57 goals in 197 games for the club, and helped them win the Bundesliga for the first time in 2024.

Liverpool vs Arsenal is set to be an exciting encounter, although the stakes aren't as high as they were earlier in the season when the Premier League title was still up for grabs.

Liverpool will be heading into the game with mixed feelings after they were crowned Premier League Champions but they lost their league game against Chelsea. However, Arsenal are going into this match low on confidence having failed to secure a win in their last three games against PSG and Bournemouth.

Arsenal has been in poor form in their last five Premier League games, with just one win in their last five games ( 3 draws, one win, and one defeat). On the other hand, Liverpool have suffered just two defeats and three wins in their last five games.

Liverpool have dominated this tie in the past; both teams have met each other 65 times, the Reds have 25 wins, Arsenal have 18 wins and, 22 of those games ended in a draw.

Team news:

Liverpool: Alisson Becker; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarrell Quansah, Virgil van Dijk, Kostas Tsimikas; Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones; Mo Salah, Harvey Elliott, Cody Gakpo; Luis Diaz

Manager Arne Slot has opened up on why Trent Alexander-Arnold won't be available for the Liverpool vs. Arsenal fixture.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has reportedly been dropped by new boss Arne Slot ahead of thier Liverpool vs Arsenal premier league fixture after informing the club of his decision to leave this summer.

The right-back, who’s been a pillar of the club’s success over the past few years, is now expected to make a high-profile move away to Spanish giants, Real Madrid.

Slot, already stamping his authority early into his reign, has responded swiftly. In Trent’s place, Conor Bradley will start Liverpool’s final game of the season, a clear sign that Slot is planning ahead.

He had said in an interview, “Conor will start on Sunday because he needs more games under his belt to prepare for next season. Let’s not compare him with Trent, they are two different types of players… we have a lot of confidence in him as a very good full-back for Liverpool.”

Bradley’s promotion doesn’t just hint at trust in youth, it also sends a strong message: if a player has made the decision to move on, Liverpool will too.

Trent’s exit will no doubt be emotional for supporters. From boyhood fan to world-class right-back, his story has been deeply entwined with Liverpool’s recent glory years.

But football moves quickly, and so does Arne Slot. The Dutch manager is laying the groundwork for his tenure, and the decisions, however tough, are coming fast.
