The deal is £100million up front with £16.5m in add-ons – making it a Premier League record transfer.
Wirtz has enjoyed back-to-back stunning seasons in the Bundesliga.
His form has made the 22-year-old one of the most sought-after stars in Europe.
Liverpool went toe-to-toe with Bayern Munich to land the German international.
Kop chiefs convinced Wirtz his future lay at Anfield rather than Bavaria.
And Real Madrid and Manchester City were also interested in securing Wirtz’s signature.
The attacking midfielder has posted double-digit goals and assists in each of the last two Bundesliga seasons.
Wirtz joins the Reds after bagging 10 goals for Leverkusen as they finished second in the table behind Bayern.
