Revealed: Florian Wirtz's new salary at Liverpool ahead of record-breaking £116million transfer from Bayer Leverkusen... so, where does youngster rank compared to Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk?

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 record-breaking 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. Wirtz will secure a significant pay-rise when he finally swaps Bayer Leverkusen for Liverpool Mail Sport can reveal that Mohamed Salah's new deal, signed in April, is worth £380,000 per week. The Egyptian, now 32, remains central to Liverpool's plans under Arne Slot and committed to a fresh contract amid speculation linking him with a move to Saudi Arabia. But Virgil van Dijk is now the club's highest earner. The Dutch defender signed a two-year extension, also in April, worth around £400,000 per week. Wirtz is expected to slot into a No 10 role under Slot but can also play wide, deeper in midfield, or as a false nine. He registered 10 goals and 12 assists in the Bundesliga last season and was instrumental as Leverkusen pushed Bayern Munich all the way in the title race — a year on from their league and cup double. He has already held talks with Slot and even viewed properties in Cheshire in preparation for the move. Those close to the player say he is ecstatic about the chance to play alongside stars like Salah and has described the move as a 'done deal' in recent days. Wirtz will become only the 10th footballer in history to command a nine-figure fee. He joins Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Philippe Coutinho, Joao Felix, Enzo Fernandez, Antoine Griezmann, Jack Grealish, Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo on that list. But Liverpool do not see Wirtz as a vanity signing.
