Florian Wirtz will be joined by his glamourous partner Aaliyah Mohamed after completing his record-breaking £116million move to Liverpool.
After weeks of negotiations, the Germany attacking midfielder was unveiled as a Reds player on Friday night, becoming the most expensive British transfer ever amid the hefty price tag he will now carry on his back.
Liverpool finally agreed the deal with Bayern with personal terms long not an issue, and Wirtz will hit the ground running in red when the Premier League champions return for pre-season ahead of their title defence.
But the 22-year-old will not be heading to Liverpool alone. Though he opts to keep his personal life mostly private, his girlfriend will be joining him on Merseyside to support him in the next stage of his career.
Photos of Wirtz and Aaliyah started to emerge last year when she was spotted on the pitch at Bayer Leverkusen’s BayArena to celebrate the German side’s invincible season under Xabi Alonso.
She was then seen out in Germany to support her partner at the European Championship, which saw the Germans fall flat as they lost to eventual winners Spain in the quarter-finals.
During the game against France, the influencer, who has over 118,000 followers on TikTok, was seen chatting to Kai Havertz’s partner Sophia Webber, as well as Wirtz’s father in the stands.
Aaliyah’s Instagram account is private, but she shares fashion videos to her TikTok followers, often picking up hundreds of thousands of views on her videos.
Her followers often flood to the comment section of her videos, with one fan dubbing her ‘the prettiest women I have ever seen’.
She was also previously snapped by Cologne photographer Jonas Herrlein, which saw her don an outfit of a denim top with white sleeves, accompanied by a skirt.
The couple are thought to have started dating in 2022, and Aaliyah has even been seen to accompany Wirtz to games when he has been watching in the stands due to injury.
Wirtz, meanwhile, declared his ambition to ‘win everything, every year’ after making his blockbuster switch from Bayer Leverkusen.
He said: ‘I would like to win everything, every year! First of all, we have to do our work, I have to make my work.
‘In the end, we want to be successful. Last season, Liverpool won the Premier League, so my goal is to win it again and also go further in the Champions League. I’m really ambitious.
‘I’m really excited to have a new adventure in front of me. This was also a big point of my thoughts: that I want to have something completely new, to go out of the Bundesliga and join the Premier League.’
In a video on Instagram, the 22-year-old added: ‘What would I say? I would say, thank you for the support, of course, I also saw it on Instagram or everywhere else that they are wanting me to come.
‘I would say thank you for the support and I’m really looking forward to playing in front of them and achieving big things together.
‘So yeah, I’m really happy to come and sorry for the long wait.’
After a relatively reserved few transfer windows, Liverpool fans have been left slack-jawed by what looks to be an almost perfect transfer window so far.
Arne Slot had already signed Wirtz’s former Bayer Leverkusen team-mate Jeremie Frimpong for £29.5m.
Witrtz and Frimpong were crucial to Leverkusen’s invincible domestic double in 2023-24 under Xabi Alonso and were recently on holiday together.
