Fans have reacted on social media after Fabrizio Romano dropped a bombshell about the Florian Wirtz trade situation.
Liverpool have been working tirelessly in recent weeks to complete a move for Bayer Leverkusen striker Wirtz.
On Tuesday night, transfer guru Romano announced that the German is well on his way to becoming a Liverpool player, using his famous ‘Here We Go’.
On social media, he posted, “EXCLUSIVE: Florian Wirtz to Liverpool, HERE WE GO!” Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen have verbally agreed on a transaction in principle for €150 million, with add-ons included.
“The player side reached an agreement two weeks ago, and the move is now imminent.” Wirtz is scheduled for medical and contract signing.
Fans have been taken aback by Liverpool’s willingness to pay so much for the 22-year-old player.
A fan made a joke: “Bayer Leverkusen are laughing all the way to the bank, after all, it’s not like Liverpool to overpay on a player.”
Another said, “Good player, but €150 million is insane lmao, what on earth.”
A third enthusiast commented, “Crazy money.”
Someone else wrote: “Liverpool really paid €150 million for Wirtz, damn.” “We acquired Cherki, Reijnders, and Rayan Aït-Nouri for less than 120 million.”
A fifth comment: “HOW MU.
According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, the Wirtz deal is expected to smash three records.
He said on X, “BREAKING | Florian #Wirtz to Liverpool is considered a done deal! There are new conversations today. With Bayer 04 Leverkusen, a full agreement in principle has been reached. Following @FabrizioRomano. The transfer fee has been revealed as up to €150 million, including add-ons. Medical is still awaiting.
“The most expensive sale in Bundesliga history.” The most expensive signing in Liverpool history. “The most expensive signing in Premier League history.”
The impending arrival of Wirtz will delight Liverpool fans, who hope to see their side defend its Premier League title in the coming season.
Wirtz will also be reunited with former Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong, whose transfer to Liverpool was announced last month.
