Liverpool agreed a then club record transfer of \u00a3116 million to sign Florian Wirtz<\/a> from Bayer Leverkusen<\/a>, and the details of his add-ons have been disclosed.<\/p>\n

Wirtz completed his move to Liverpool in June for an initial \u00a3100 million plus \u00a316 million in add-ons, with the German signing a contract until 2030.<\/p>\n

The fee was a new transfer record for Liverpool and would have broken the British record if all the bonuses were paid to Leverkusen, that was until Alexander Isak<\/a> signed for \u00a3125 million.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, it is still the second-highest figure the club have paid for a player, but the add-ons can only be triggered by Liverpool winning one of two major trophies.<\/p>\n

As per the Times<\/a>\u2018 Paul Joyce, the add-ons of up to \u00a316 million will only be triggered should the club win either the Premier League<\/a> or Champions League<\/a> four times.<\/p>\n

It is a small price to pay for Liverpool in the bigger picture, as the prize money, broadcast revenue and other associated income from that success will more than pay for the add-ons.<\/p>\n

While the overall figure for Wirtz is eye-watering, Liverpool will make five equal payments to Leverkusen to spread the financial commitment and keep the balance sheets ticking over. <\/p>\n

They have a similar payment plan for Isak, though his fee will be spread across four seasons. It means this summer Liverpool will have only paid \u00a351.25 million for the duo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Wirtz has started each of Liverpool\u2019s three Premier League<\/a> games and has shown he still needs to adapt to English football, though the first three opponents were among the most physical.<\/p>\n

It has been somewhat of a slow burn, but Joyce states that \u201cthe belief that he possesses in his ability to unlock opposing defences remains unwavering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burnley<\/a> will present another new challenge on Sunday, a match that will see the club debut their new third kit<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool agreed a then club record transfer of \u00a3116 million to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150026,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1711,403,99],"class_list":["post-150025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150025"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150025\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
