Florian Wirtz is currently on Liverpool's pre-season tour of Asia having made an immediate impression on his new team-mates following his £116million transfer

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.

Florian Wirtz caught the attention of several footballing stars from across Europe after Liverpool jetted out to Hong Kong.

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.

Jamie Carragher made four bold transfer predictions for Liverpool in April, and three of them have come right until now.

Former Liverpool defender Markus Babbel believes that, despite the high transfer fee, Florian Wirtz offers the Reds great value even with the 22-year-old German playmaker potentially becoming a Britis

“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.”

Liverpool would need to offer a reported transfer fee of £150 million for Newcastle United to potentially sanction the sale of Alexander Isak this summer.
