Liverpool have broken their transfer record for the signing of Germany international Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, the club announced on Friday. ESPN previously reported the deal to be worth a total of £116 million ($156.27 million) -- it includes an initial £100 million payment with £16 million in add-ons.

The Athletic reports that Liverpool’s 2023-24 turnover exceeded £600m, a season which only included Europa League football. With the return of Champions League action and a title win last season, 2024-25 revenues are expected to have hit over £700m — a feat previously only managed by Manchester City.

“In the end, it was a matter of nuances,” Wirtz’s father and co-agent Hans-Joachim told Spiegel. “The decision ultimately had to do with the different sporting situations and Florian’s role. And financially, there weren’t any major differences between the two clubs anyway.”
