He is one of the most coveted young players on the planet. It must be said that at the age of 21, Florian Wirtz is not just a simple nugget nor a big player in the making; it is already a reference to his position and he has been shining for several seasons under the tunics of Bayer Leverkusen and the German selection. Obviously, he was coveted by several big clubs…
For months already, it has been announced in Germany that Bayern Munich is more than interested in his services. But also from Real Madrid, ready to go on the attack in the near future. The Premier League big names have also been announced, with more or less insistence, as a possible destination for the whimsical German midfielder. Until the strong revelations from the German press this Sunday…
A big blow for Leverkusen
Kicker thus explained that Wirtz could ultimately stay with Leverkusen. A trend that this same media confirms this Monday, without doubt from now on: the German international has already extended his contract with the reigning German champion. The agreement is complete and has been sealed, on paper. Under contract until 2027, Wirtz has extended for at least one season according to the German media.
Very good news for Bayer Leverkusen, who already risk seeing Xabi Alonso leave his sidelines, and seeing a captain like Jonathan Tah packing his bags if he does not extend his contract by the end of the season. Wirtz will unsurprisingly become the team’s highest-paid player, and he has decided to stay as a mark of gratitude to Leverkusen. The love story is far from over!
