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.
Wirtz has signed a five-year deal with the Premier League champions, a source told ESPN. His shirt number is expected to be announced later in the summer.
The deal has seen Arne Slot's side ward off stiff competition from Bayern Munich and Manchester City to land the highly rated attacker -- he was ranked No.
