Florian Wirtz is set to become one of Liverpool's highest-paid players after sealing a sensational £116million move from Bayer Leverkusen.

Mail Sport revealed earlier this week that the Premier League champions had finalised terms on the club record transfer, agreeing an initial £100m fee that could rise to £116m based on performance-related bonuses — including winning the Champions League and Premier League with Wirtz playing a key role.

And while the 22-year-old's medical is expected to take place once he returns from holiday, Mail Sport understands that personal terms have already been agreed, with Wirtz choosing Liverpool over Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid weeks ago.

According to Sky Sports, Wirtz will earn a base salary of €12million (£10.21m) per year — roughly £195,000 a week.

That could reportedly rise to €15m (£12.77m) — more than £245,000 a week — if individual and team bonuses are triggered.

Those figures puts him near the top bracket of Liverpool's earners — but still behind the club's two biggest stars.
