🚨 Official: Florian Wirtz signs for Liverpool!
Historic transfer! After five seasons at Bayer Leverkusen, his training club, Florian Wirtz is leaving the Bundesliga and committing to Liverpool. The English club made the news official this Friday evening! Wirtz joins the Reds in exchange for a check ranging between 136 and 150 million euros, depending on whether you listen to the English or German press. Regardless, it's a colossal operation, the biggest transfer in the history of Liverpool FC and the Premier League; the third most expensive in all of football history, behind the arrivals of Neymar (222 million euros) and Kylian Mbappé (180 million euros) to Paris Saint-Germain, in 2017 and 2018. Advertisement A pillar of Xabi Alonso's Bayer, German champion, winner of the German Cup and finalist of the Europa League in 2023-2024, Florian Wirtz leaves Leverkusen after 196 matches played and 56 goals scored in all competitions. The 22-year-old German international is stepping up by joining the reigning champions of England and the Premier League. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Liverpool AGREE £50m transfer
According to the latest reports Liverpool have agreed a £50m transfer to sign a Premier League star. It's already been a hectic summer of activity for the club's sporting director Richard Hughes and the spending spree is set to continue. Advertisement Liverpool have secured the arrivals of Armin Pecsi, Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz so far. Those three alone would represent a brilliant summer of investment. In Frimpong and Wirtz Liverpool will sign two of the best attacking talent in European football. Players who are the best in their positions in the world. Meanwhile in Pecsi Liverpool have secured the future of an outstanding young goalkeeper, who is regarded among the best young players in his position as well, and who has the potential to become a future no.1 at Anfield. But this is an overhaul for Liverpool this summer. Hughes and Edwards are working on a reset at the club and that will involve more players coming in and Liverpool having to spend the big bucks again. Advertisement The one who is likely next through the door is Milos Kerkez. According to Duncan Castles speaking on the Football Transfers Podcast, Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Kerkez from Bournemouth. He revealed that the total value of the deal to Bournemouth will be £50m. That's different to other reports where it has been suggested that Liverpool have agreed a deal around £40m to £45m. But it also would not surprise us if the Reds did indeed agree a deal that could be worth up to £50m with perhaps add-ons. After all, Bournemouth are not in a position where they have to sell their best players. And if they do sell them they will demand the very highest fees possible. Advertisement For Kerkez, £50m may seem like a steep prize but it's one Liverpool will believe is worth every penny. The club has never really gone out of their way to make risky moves in the market under Michael Edwards' control. Naby Keita was perhaps the only questionable recruit, but nobody could have foreseen his injury woes. With Kerkez, Liverpool have tracked him for a long time and have opened talks with him as early as November as exclusively revealed by Anfield Watch at the time. The club's scouts will be absolutely convinced that the Hungarian is the best long-term player for the club. He fits into Arne Slot's vision of having fast full-backs bombing forward at every opportunity - a bit like how PSG play with Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes. Advertisement Paying £50m for Kerkez is a huge sum. He will be one of the most expensive full-backs in the history of the game. But it's an indication of Liverpool's status at the moment. The Reds are only planning to sign the very best in the game. That's why they have gone and recruited Frimpong, Wirtz and Pecsi and that's why they will now sign Kerkez as well. It's a new dynasty that Hughes and Edwards are trying to build.

NASCAR's Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has sold his North Carolina home for $12.2M all-cash — and broke a local record
NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has sold his North Carolina estate for a local-record-breaking $12.2 million, marking the highest-priced residential sale ever recorded in the greater Charlotte metro area. Located in Mooresville, about 30 miles north of Charlotte and a hub for professional stock car drivers, the roughly 140-acre property went to an all-cash buyer from South Florida, according to listing agent Josh Tucker of Corcoran HM Properties. The sale more than triples what Stenhouse paid for the property in 2013, when he purchased it for $3.8 million. The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the deal. 20 NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has sold his roughly 140-acre North Carolina estate, known as Slide Job Ranch, for $12.2 million. Matthew Benham 20 The sale is a record-setting price for the Charlotte area. Matthew Benham Originally listed in 2022 for just under $16 million, the estate came off the market after its most recent asking price of $12.99 million. But when the buyer made a strong offer, Stenhouse opted to sell without re-listing. 'This estate is truly one of a kind,' Tucker said in a statement to The Post. 'From its world-class equestrian facilities to its resort-style grounds and exquisite architectural craftsmanship, it's a rare property not only for Charlotte, but for the entire Southeast.' Built around the year 2000, the main residence spans more than 9,100 square feet and includes five bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and two half-baths. 20 A horse barn with stalls. Matthew Benham 20 Stenhouse sold it for more than triple the $3.8 million he paid for it in 2013. Cameron Glenn 20 The home is located in Mooresville near Lake Norman. Cameron Glenn Interior features range from a gourmet quartz-countertop kitchen with a walk-in pantry to a private library, a plush home theater and expansive terraces overlooking manicured grounds. Outdoor amenities also include a vanishing-edge pool, a pool house, a putting green and a fully equipped kitchen with a fireplace. Known by its moniker Slide Job Ranch, the property also boasts extensive motorsports lineage. Before Stenhouse, it was owned by NASCAR legends Ernie Irvan and Joe Nemechek. While its heritage nods to high-octane competition, the estate's equestrian facilities are no less impressive. The 5,500-square-foot European-style stables include 18 custom stalls, a covered riding arena and a climate-controlled tack room. 20 The equestrian property was once listed for nearly $16 million but wasn't on the market when an all-cash buyer from South Florida made a strong unsolicited offer. Matthew Benham 20 The estate features a 9,100-square-foot main house. Matthew Benham 20 The grand foyer with a double spiral staircase. Michael Velet 20 The formal living space.

Michael Velet 'Buyers at this price point are looking for more than just a home — they're seeking a particular lifestyle, ultimate privacy and unique amenities, and this property delivers on all those fronts,' Tucker said. Despite its legacy in motorsports, the buyer has no connection to NASCAR, Tucker confirmed. Stenhouse, who won the 2023 Daytona 500 and is a two-time NASCAR Xfinity Series champion, isn't leaving the area. He and his wife, Madyson, still own a neighboring 160-acre parcel they acquired in 2018 and are considering building a new home there, according to Tucker. 20 A breakfast space.

Matthew Benham The prior record for a residential sale in the Charlotte area was $11.5 million, set in July 2024 by a waterfront property on Lake Norman. Tucker said the combination of acreage, luxury features, and proximity to both Charlotte and Lake Norman helped justify the $12.2 million sale price — although he acknowledged to the Journal the original $16 million listing was 'probably a little aggressive.' Even so, the deal signals growing momentum in the region's high-end market. 20 It has previously been owned by fellow race-car drivers Ernie Irvan and Joe Nemechek, fittingly located in an area favored by NASCAR stars due to its proximity to the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
