Florian Wirtz is set to move to Anfield for a British record fee of £116m, but the first beneficiaries of the blockbuster deal are not the player's agents, but his parents.
Without the need for a super agent or a team of advisors, Wirtz completely trusted his parents - Hans and Karin - to negotiate the entire transfer with Liverpool. And that trust was rewarded with a contract that brought him to the Premier League champions, along with an estimated commission of up to 8.6 million pounds for both parents.
According to Bild, this is the amount of money that Wirtz's parents will receive over the course of the 5-year contract. Not a small amount, but also a worthy reward for those who have been with their son from his early days in Leverkusen to the peak of the current transfer market.
Technically, Liverpool have not only secured one of the best young talents in Europe, but also the perfect piece to a creative midfield that is in need of a new lease of life. Under Arne Slot, Wirtz could explode - as he did under Xabi Alonso last season. A domestic double and the German Super Cup in 2023/24 are testament to the midfielder's consistent excellence.

Wirtz’s choice to trust his family rather than his super-agent also reflects a different approach to modern football. It is no longer a simple money race, but a carefully calculated journey by those who know him best. And that calculation has been tested many times – from Leverkusen’s resolute rejection of initial offers, to the eventual £100m (plus £16m in add-ons) bid.
Interestingly, Wirtz will reunite with Jeremie Frimpong - his former teammate at Leverkusen, who has just joined Liverpool for £29.5 million. The pair, who were once mainstays under Xabi Alonso, will now continue to be the core of the Merseyside team's ambition to conquer Europe.
From a holiday together off the coast of Montenegro, Wirtz and Frimpong are set to reunite on the English pitch. And behind the scenes of the blockbuster deal, a small family has just asserted their place on the top football map - no fuss, no gimmicks, simply faith and professionalism to the end.
Liverpool may have spent big, but for Florian Wirtz, this was more than just a player signing. It was a strategic investment - and a touching story about football, family and faith.
