Florian Wirtz transfer fee reported differently in Germany & England – Latest LFC news
Jun 13, 2025
It’s Florian Friday! Liverpool have finally struck an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for the talented Florian Wirtz, who will undergo a medical next week.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
After being told a deal for Wirtz was imminent weeks ago, Liverpool have finally reached an agreement with Leverkusen – although the fee has been reportedly differently in England and Germany.
Reliable German journalist Rafa Honigstein predicted it would be the case as both sides “want to look as if they got a great deal here.”
In England, reporters briefed by Liverpool were told the fee is up to £116 million (€136.3m), £100 million guaranteed and a further £16 million in add-ons.
Wirtz transfer, what’s claimed
British media:
£100m initial fee
£16m potential add-ons
£116m potential total fee
German media:
€140m (£119m) initial fee
€10m (£8m) potential add-ons
€150m (£127m) potential total fee
On Leverkusen’s side, though, which includes outlets kicker and BILD, the figure reported is €140 million (£119m), inclusive of realistic add-ons, plus up to €10 million (£8.5m) if other targets are met – like winning the Champions League.
It is your typical transfer hoopla but all that matters is that Liverpool got their man, if the two clubs want to spin it differently and assume none of us notice then let them have their fun.
