Liverpool sign this Bundesliga's star for €150 million; club to club agreement done!
Liverpool have finally signed the Bayer Leverkusen's winger Florian Wirtz. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on June 11, 2025, 08:38 IST Liverpool have finally signed the Bayer Leverkusen's winger Florian Wirtz. The Reds were trying hard to sign him since the start of the Summer transfer window and they didn't take much days to complete the deal. However, the deal is worth €150 million, where add-ons are included. The deal was a priority for Liverpool and they managed to do this. But the question remains, whether the player worth €150 million? Well, the upcoming season will tell this. Liverpool have signed Bayer Leverkusen's star winger Florian Wirtz, bringing an end to one of the most talked-about transfer sagas of the summer. The Reds had been pursuing the German international since the start of the transfer window, and their persistence has finally paid off. The deal, reportedly worth €150 million including add-ons, makes Wirtz one of the most expensive signings in Liverpool's history. It was a priority for the Merseyside club, who moved swiftly to secure the 21-year-old's signature amid interest from several European giants. Wirtz, known for his creativity, dribbling, and composure in the final third, played a key role in Leverkusen's Bundesliga-winning campaign under Xabi Alonso. His arrival is expected to inject fresh attacking flair into Liverpool's frontline as the club enters a new era.

Popovic tells Australia to do 'something special' at World Cup
Coach Tony Popovic said Australia want to do "something special" and hailed the character of his side after they qualified for a sixth successive World Cup. The Socceroos booked their ticket to North America next year with a 2-1 win Tuesday over Saudi Arabia in Jeddah, joining Japan from Asian Group C and consigning the home team to another qualifying round. Advertisement "Very satisfying right now. I'm sure it'll sink in as the days go by," said Popovic, who joins an elite group to make a World Cup as a player and a coach. The former Crystal Palace captain appeared at the 2006 tournament in Germany, where Australia made the round of 16 under Guus Hiddink. "It's been a very intense period since I've joined, and I've loved it so far," said Popovic, who replaced Graham Arnold in September. "We've done the first part, qualifying automatically, and now the next part is to be bigger and better for the World Cup." While Australia are at a sixth straight World Cup, it is the first time in 12 years that they have qualified automatically. Advertisement Australia were fifth in the group when Popovic came in, reeling from a disastrous 1-0 loss to Bahrain and a 0-0 draw with Indonesia. After Australia conceded early in Jeddah, Mitch Duke teed up Connor Metcalfe and then scored the winner, before veteran goalkeeper Mathew Ryan saved a penalty to spark huge celebrations. "I think that's been a characteristic from the first day I arrived, we went one-nil down against China, we came back," said Popovic, referring to his first match in charge following Arnold's resignation. "To do it here in this atmosphere, you know, you gotta deal with the weather as well and it's not easy, and to show that character, resilience and then quality to come back and actually take the lead and win the game, I'm delighted. Advertisement "We've built a good foundation now and we want to really get better, kick on and try and do something special at the World Cup." For skipper Ryan it was a huge moment. He not only saved the spot kick in his 100th game for Australia, but ensured he will be at a fourth World Cup. "The fairytale has come true," said Ryan, 33, who is currently at French club Lens. "The journey that we have been on to get here, I'm just so proud of everyone. "We're going to enjoy obviously that direct qualification now. But in a week's time, or a little bit longer, the prep starts for the next goal we set ourselves." mp/pst

'Lazy':Roy Keane slams Kyle Walker after England concede goal against Senegal
Roy Keane has criticised Manchester City defender Kyle Walker following his role in Senegal's equaliser against England. The Three Lions, who took an early lead through Harry Kane, were pegged back shortly before half-time when Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr turned home Nicolas Jackson's cross. Advertisement Sarr was able to get in front of Walker at the back post to pounce, also getting the better of his club teammate Dean Henderson in the process. Upon analysing the equaliser, Keane - on punditry duty for ITV - singled out Walker for criticism, going as far as to accuse the experienced defender of being 'lazy' in the build-up to the goal. He said: 'If this is a young right back, you're thinking it's inexperience. 'But I think he's being lazy. 'He almost can't be bothered getting back. For a vastly experienced player, you can't be making mistakes like that.' At fault: Kyle Walker (The FA via Getty Images) England head coach Thomas Tuchel is unlikely to be pleased with Walker's defending either after being very critical of the team's overall performance against Andorra at the weekend. Despite a 1-0 win in the World Cup qualifier, Tuchel felt the display was lacklustre and called for an immediate response in the international friendly against Senegal on Tuesday night.
