European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on his social network service (SNS) on the 11th (Korea time) that `Liverpool has verbally reached a principle agreement with Bayer Leverkusen on transfers worth 150 million euros (about 234.5 billion won) including additional conditions.'
"Florian Birtz's side have already agreed to a transfer two weeks ago, and now a transfer is imminent," Romano said. "Birtz is about to sign a contract with a medical test."
Liverpool's previous offer was rejected by Leverkusen. This is because it does not meet the 150 million euros demanded by Leverkusen.
The transfer fee is not clear, but if Romano's 150 million euros is true, Liverpool will break the record of 115 million pounds (about 180 billion won) set by Chelsea in the summer of 2023 when they acquired Moises Caicedo from Brighton. In other words, it will break the highest transfer fee ever in the English Premier League (EPL).
In addition, it will be Liverpool's most expensive transfer in the club's history, exceeding 85 million pounds (about 156.9 billion won) recorded when Darwin Núñez was acquired from Benfica three years ago.
Liverpool, which won the Premier League from 2024 to 2025, is preparing for next season. In order to perform well not only in the league but also in the UEFA Champions League next season, it is necessary to strengthen its power.

Liverpool has been watching Birz's growth for years and judged it to be an opportunity to preemptively sign a contract before the interest of European rival clubs grows.
Birtz's family had an in-depth chat with Liverpool after visiting England. Since then, a meeting between Liverpool and Fenway Sports Group, the owner of the club, has been urgently decided. Progress has been made because Birz's side has expressed some willingness to consent.
Birtz has developed into one of the best attacking midfielders in the world over the past five seasons when he played in the Leverkusen first team. He won his first Bundesliga championship in Leverkusen history and was named Bundesliga Player of the Year.
Birtz is set to be Liverpool's second major signing this summer. Jeremy Frimpong, who was confirmed to be transferred last month, will be a freshman at Liverpool. Liverpool's third signing is likely to be Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez.
