On Friday, FC Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen made one of the biggest deals in football history perfectly: Florian Wirtz changes from the Werkelf to the Angeld Road and is supposed to rinse up to 150 million euros into the coffers. An enormous sum from which 1. FC Köln will also benefit.
Florian Wirtz’s personnel once ensured that the house blessing between Bayer Leverkusen and 1. FC Köln hangs wrong. The fact that Leverkusen locked the 31-time German international in 2020 as a 16-year-old from Geißbockheim caused misconduct. Late compensation will now follow.
As a training association of Wirtz, the 1. FC Köln collects at least two million euros, according to the “Geissblog”, from the six million euros to be distributed, which, if Liverpool in the end, should even increase the full bonus payments, can even grow to 7.5 million euros.
This sum would correspond to the five percent of the FIFA, which is determined by FIFA, a maximum revenue of 150 million euros. This “training allowance” is due when switching to another association and flows proportionately to the clubs in which the player trained between his twelfth and 23 years of age.

According to the report, FC should currently check which share in the cake to the club, but it is considered “unlikely” that the entire sum will be collected, it is said. The “Express” had previously reported that one hopes that in the cathedral city.
1. FC Köln will get his share
“If there is a transfer contract, the income is bundled centrally at the Clearing House of the FIFA. Then you can see which club is involved in which transfer sum is involved. We will automatically receive our share,” quotes the “Geissblog” Cologne sports director Thomas Kessler in this context.
Once all the formalities have been clarified, Liverpool has 30 days each to pay the payments.
