Wirtz Florian
Xabi Alonso
Auf einmal stand Florian Wirtz wieder in Brauweiler auf dem Trainingsplatz. Vergangenen Donnerstag traf sich der Weltstar mit Privattrainer Cagdas Sahinoglu (Soccer-Academy-Germany) in seinem Heimatort. Er war früher aus dem Urlaub zurückgekehrt, um vor der Abreise am Freitag zur Nationalmannschaft nach Herzogenaurach noch eine Extra-Schicht einzulegen.
Der Rekord-Wechsel zum FC Liverpool (Ablöse zwischen 135 und 150 Mio. Euro) verändert den Spielmacher nicht. Er motiviert ihn nach fünfeinhalb Jahren in Leverkusen mit der Meisterschaft und dem Pokalsieg 2024 als Höhepunkt eher noch mehr.
[–>Wirtz hat eine rein sportliche Entscheidung getroffen – für den englischen Meister und Trainer Arne Slot (46), der ihn am meisten gepackt hat. Nicht gegen eines der vielen anderen Top-Angebote (u. a. FC Bayern, Manchester City). Das Geld spielte eine untergeordnete Rolle. Sonst wäre er womöglich woanders gelandet.
Auch Liverpool zahlt fürstlich. Aber weniger, als in München für Wirtz drin gewesen wäre. Nach Informationen von SPORT BILD soll er bei den „Reds“ auch nicht zum Top-Verdiener aufsteigen. Das bleibt Mo Salah (32), der gerade bis 2027 verlängert hat und zwischen 23 und 25 Millionen Euro inklusive Prämien pro Saison kassieren soll. Dahinter folgt in Zukunft Wirtz. Sein Gehalt soll je nach Erfolg zwischen 20 und 22 Millionen Euro pro Jahr liegen.
Bleibt der bestverdienende Profi bei Liverpool: Mohamed Salah (32)
<!–>
„Ich beschäftige mich auch gar nicht damit, wie viel Geld ich auf dem Konto habe oder was ich in Zukunft verdienen könnte“, hatte Wirtz in einem Interview mit „Sports Illustrated“ erklärt, das im April geführt worden war. „Natürlich sollte man sich darum kümmern, dass man einen guten Vertrag bekommt. Aber da ist die sportliche Perspektive für mich viel entscheidender als das Geld.“
Genau danach hat der Spielmacher der Nationalmannschaft, der die DFB-Elf in der Nations League jetzt zum Sieg führen soll, gehandelt. Slot hatte ihn von seinem Konzept mit dem deutschen Top-Star im Zentrum der Offensive derart überzeugt, dass ihn Bayern-Trainer Vincent Kompany (39) in seinem Vieraugengespräch am 18. Mai in München gar nicht mehr erreichen konnte.
Slot hatte die Erlaubnis für Gespräche mit seinem Wunschspieler bereits im März von Bayer Leverkusen erhalten. Der FC Bayern beschäftigte sich zu dem Zeitpunkt vor allem mit Papa und Berater Hans Wirtz, der zu einem Wechsel innerhalb der Bundesliga tendiert hatte. Beim Rekordmeister hatten sie womöglich unterschätzt, dass Florian Wirtz seine Entscheidung eigenständig trifft.
Wegen Superstar-Transfer: Kommt jetzt Bayerns Guardiola-Moment?
Die „Reds“ machen Wirtz zum teuersten Einkauf der englischen Fußball-Geschichte. Bisher steht der Argentinier Enzo Fernández (24) auf Platz eins des Kohle-Rankings. Chelsea holte den Weltmeister Anfang 2023 für die festgeschriebene Ablöse von 121 Millionen Euro von Benfica Lissabon. Wirtz wird inklusive Bonus-Zahlungen bei über 135 Millionen Euro liegen.
Das ist gleichzeitig die höchste Summe, die jemals für einen deutschen Spieler – und auch für einen Bundesliga-Star – bezahlt wurde. Der Deutsche mit dem bisher höchsten Preis ist Kai Havertz (25) bei seinem Wechsel 2020 von Leverkusen zu Chelsea (100 Mio. inkl. Boni). Der teuerste Bundesliga-Spieler vor Wirtz war der Franzose Ousmane Dembélé (28). Der ging 2017 für 135 Mio. inkl. der Nachschläge von Borussia Dortmund zum FC Barcelona.
Jetzt zieht der Junge aus Brauweiler bei Köln an allen vorbei.

Scottie Scheffler hit his opening tee shot out-of-bounds and still was a threat until a tee shot into the water ended his hopes on the 15th.Through it all, Fleetwood held his nerve. He closed with a 2-under 68 for a three-shot victory over Cantlay (71) and Russell Henley (69)."I’ve been a PGA Tour winner for a long time, it’s just always been in my mind," Fleetwood said.

2025 Tour Championship purse, prize money: Payouts for Tommy Fleetwood, field at FedEx Cup Playoffs
The final 72 holes of the 2025 PGA Tour season decided who took home the grand prize offered by the FedEx Cup Playoffs. While the 2025 Tour Championship again served as the season finale for the top 30 players on the PGA Tour, but the purse and prize funds looked different this season given the PGa Tour's decision to change the playing format for the final tournament.Instead of the near-$83 million purse and $25 million winner's prize that had previously been dished out, the Tour Championship this year offered a $40 million purse with $10 million going to the winner, Tommy Fleetwood. Not bad considering this marked Fleetwood's first career win on the PGA Tour and he had just coughed up the lead at a prior playoff event two weeks earlier.The rest of the FedEx Cup money had been doled […]
Tommy Fleetwood claims the Tour Championship for a dramatic first PGA Tour win
Tommy Fleetwood did not crack a smile. He did not allow himself to bounce on the balls of his feet, his stride careful and the mood pensive as he worked his way through the final few holes and sought to finally get across a PGA Tour finish line in first place.He did, in a way that’ll prove to be remembered. Fleetwood won the Tour Championship on Sunday at East Lake County Club in Atlanta, beating a field of the other 29 best players on the PGA Tour in a winner-takes-all shootout for a $10 million check.AdvertisementWhen it was over, shooting 18 under par over four days and a 68 on Sunday to beat Patrick Cantlay and Russell Henley by three shots, Fleetwood did crack a smile. A rather large one, as his stepson hugged him and a lot of the […]
