Florian Wirtz

Florian Wirtz, born on May 3, 2003, is a prominent German professional footballer who has made a significant impact in the world of football. Currently playing as an attacking midfielder or left midfielder for Premier League club Liverpool and the Germany national team, Wirtz is widely recognized as one of the best attacking midfielders globally.

Wirtz's football journey began in the youth system at 1. FC Köln, where he honed his skills before making a pivotal move to Bayer Leverkusen in 2020. He made his first team debut at just 17 years old, achieving the remarkable feat of becoming the youngest scorer in Bundesliga history. His talent shone brightly during the 2023–24 season, where he played a crucial role in Leverkusen’s unbeaten domestic double, earning the prestigious Bundesliga Player of the Season award with an impressive tally of eighteen goals in forty-nine appearances.

In June 2025, Wirtz's career took a significant turn as he transferred to Liverpool for a club-record fee of approximately one hundred million pounds plus bonuses. This high-profile move not only broke the previous Premier League record for the most expensive transfer but also marked a new chapter in his burgeoning career.

On the international stage, Wirtz made his debut for Germany in September 2021, showcasing his talent at various youth levels before making history as the youngest ever goalscorer for Germany in the European Championships, scoring against Scotland at UEFA Euro 2024.
