FLORIAN WIRTZ will reportedly pocket a mammoth salary at Liverpool.
The Reds agreed a record Premier League fee for the Bayer Leverkusen and Germany midfielder earlier this week.
The Merseysiders will pay the 2023/24 Bundesliga champions a whopping £116.5MILION for the 22-year-old.
Liverpool have fended off the likes of Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid to land Wirtz, who has reportedly been handed a mammoth five-year contract.
And according to Sky Sports, the German will pocket a whopping £245,000 a week during his Anfield stay.
That works out to a whopping £12.7m a year, a fee which is nearly TWELVE TIMES what he currently earns at the BayArena.
A whooping £10.2m of that figure is guaranteed for the attacking midfielder, who will pocket the remaining £2.5m if individual and team performance targets are met.
Wirtz’s salary will make him the THIRD HIGHEST-PAID player at Anfield ahead of Andy Robertson, Alexis Mac-Allister, Allisson, Ryan Gravenberch, Federico Chiesa, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez.
Only Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who both inked new one-year deals with the Prem champions last season, will earn more than him.
Egyptian Wizard Salah currently takes home a staggering £400,000 a week, which works out to be a jaw-dropping £20,800,000.

Dutch defender Van Dijk, meanwhile, earns an annual salary of £18,200,000 thanks to his £350,000 weekly wages.
Wirtz will be joined at Anfield by his former Leverkusen team-mate Jeremie Frimpong.
The Dutch defender became the Reds’ first signing of the summer late last month.
After the completion of his £29.5m move, the 24-year-old said: “Liverpool fans, I’m going to give my all.
“My energy, my work-rate. And hopefully, we can win together, we celebrate together, get everything together.
“I’m just excited to be here. Thank you guys for accepting me.
“And I won’t let you guys down and I’ll give you the energy that you guys want.”
