Fans are stunned by the massive fee Liverpool are set to pay for Florian Wirtz after Fabrizio Romano revealed the final price.
Social media has been buzzing with fan reactions after Fabrizio Romano dropped a huge update on Florian Wirtz’s transfer situation.
Liverpool have been pushing hard in recent weeks to secure a deal for the Bayer Leverkusen sensation. On Tuesday night, Romano confirmed that the Reds are on the verge of landing the German international, using his iconic phrase “Here We Go” to seal the news.
He posted:
“EXCLUSIVE: Florian Wirtz to Liverpool, HERE WE GO! A verbal agreement in principle has been reached with Bayer Leverkusen on a package worth up to €150 million, including add-ons. The player agreed personal terms two weeks ago. Medical and contract signing are the next steps.”
The news triggered a wave of shocked and amused reactions online, with many fans stunned by the enormous transfer fee.
One fan joked: “Leverkusen are cashing in big time — classic Liverpool overspending.”
Another wrote: “Good player, but €150 million? That’s nuts.”
A third simply reacted: “Crazy money.”
Another added: “Liverpool really dropped €150M on Wirtz? We signed Cherki, Reijnders, and Aït-Nouri for less than €120M combined.”
One more fan summed it up with: “HOW MUCH?!”
According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, the Wirtz transfer is set to smash records. In a post on X, he wrote:
“BREAKING | Florian Wirtz to Liverpool is now considered a done deal. Fresh negotiations today led to a full agreement in principle with Bayer Leverkusen. As @FabrizioRomano reported: the deal could total €150 million with bonuses. Medical pending. It will be the most expensive sale in Bundesliga history, Liverpool’s biggest signing ever, and the costliest transfer in Premier League history.”
Wirtz’s imminent arrival is a major boost for Liverpool as they aim to defend their Premier League title. He’ll also reunite with former teammate Jeremie Frimpong, who joined the club last month.
