Summary
- Florian Wirtz is Liverpool’s new record signing.

Florian Wirtz is Liverpool’s record signing for a fee which could rise to £116m, but his social media sensation girlfriend is stealing the spotlight after the Germany star’s move to England.
Wirtz, 22, has signed a five-year deal on Merseyside which will keep him at Liverpool until at least 2030. The former Bayer Leverkusen playmaker will make £200,000-a-week at Liverpool, placing him among the club’s top earners behind Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.
Wirtz revealed he chose Liverpool because he believes they are one of the top three clubs in the world, and said his family took little convincing.
“I think I was the first one in my family who was really into this club when they spoke to us or told us that they are interested in signing me. For sure, I didn’t expect that Liverpool will be my next club but my family was supporting me and I didn’t have to convince them about the club or something.
“Everything was so good and I wanted to join also a different league in the end. I think my family, they will love also to come here and spend time with me here and in the stadium. So, they will like it as well.”
He is expected to be joined by his partner Aaliyah Cloßen, who is a model and social media influencer with over 100,000 followers on TikTok.
Who is Florian Wirtz’s girlfriend?
Aaliyah Cloßen, known by her TikTok username simply as Aaliyah (@aaliyahcl), has reportedly been dating Wirtz since 2022. The pair have kept their private lives relatively quiet, but have been photographed together several times, most notably celebrating Leverkusen’s Bundesliga title in 2024.
Born in the early 2000s, she is a similar age to Wirtz, and is thought to be from the Cologne region of Germany.
Although not much is known about her professional activities, she rose to fame on TikTok, where she now has over 100,000 followers and 2 million likes thanks to her ‘get ready with me’ content, displaying her fashion, lifestyle and make-up.
She is also involved in modeling, and has worked with Cologne-based photographer Jonas Herrlein.
Aaliyah is regularly spotted in the stands watching Wirtz in action, and is thought to have a great relationship with his parents, father Hans-Joachim and mother Karin, as the trio were often seated alongside each other at Leverkusen and Germany matches.
And Liverpool fans are already preparing to welcome her to Anfield, with supporters flocking to TikTok to heap praise on their newest ‘WAG’.
One fan wrote: “Welcome to Liverpool!” on her most recent post.
Another supporter added: “Can’t wait to see you in England! You are so pretty.”
