More details have emerged of the British record deal that will take Wirtz to Anfield, with a big personal sacrifice leaving Bayern Munich licking their wounds

The deal, reportedly to cost over $150 million dollars, gives reigning Premier League champions Liverpool a marquee playmaker with versatility across the attacking parts of the pitch.

After several rejected bids, Liverpool have now agreed a deal to sign Wirtz for a whopping €136.3 million (£116.1 million, $157.8 million)—making Wirtz the most expensive sale in Bundesliga history and setting him up to break the Premier League transfer record if all add-ons are met.

Florian Wirtz rejected Manchester City and not the other way around, according to the ultimate Liverpool source who has also revealed why the Reds were chosen ahead of Bayern Munich.

Anfield's executives do not often spend big on ready-made superstars but they were glad to make an exception for German star
