Liverpool have reached an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen to sign midfielder Florian Wirtz, reports have confirmed. Negotiations between the two clubs have been ongoing for the past few weeks, with Liverpool failing with several attempts to convince Leverkusen to drop from their asking price of €150 million (£127.

Liverpool has agreed to pay a transfer fee of 116 million pounds ($157 million) for attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

Liverpool have reportedly broken the bank as well as the British record by agreeing a £116.5 million deal for Florian Wirtz, making the German midfielder the most expensive signing in both the club's and the country's football history.
