Liverpool have set the bar high for signings in the 2025 summer transfer window.

The Merseysiders are due to complete a deal for Florian Wirtz shortly, with the German international set to take a medical after his holidays.

Bayer Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong and Hungarian goalkeeper Armin Pecsi are the Reds’ first set of signings. Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is expected to follow suit, with Liverpool reportedly planning further business.

How much are Florian Wirtz’s wages at Liverpool?

One report from The Athletic claims that the Bundesliga prodigy will be earning ‘around £200,000 per week’ at Liverpool (before bonuses).

The outlet goes on to state that it will cost us ‘at least’ £12m a year to employ the footballer at the club.

Christian Falk estimated that Florian Wirtz would be earning €20m-22m per year [£17m-18.7m], likely accounting for the potential activation of performance-based bonuses.

Either way, it seems remarkably astute business from the club – critically allowing room for Liverpool to hand the midfielder a more lucrative wage packet in future.

If The Athletic’s report is on the money, £200k-a-week would place our next signing third (replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold) on the payroll table.
