He is undoubtedly one of the five players in the best form at the start of the season. The German playmaker, Florian Wirtz (20 years old), is the great architect of the sumptuous start to the season for Bayer Leverkusen, surprising leader of the Bundesliga with three points ahead of Bayern Munich and without the slightest match lost. And among the entire Pillendreher squad, Florian Wirtz is the one who seems to stand out this season, to the point of interest from the biggest European teams.
FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool and even Paris Saint-Germain would be interested in the player trained at Bayer Leverkusen. This season, after extending his contract with the Bundesliga leader last summer, he has 10 assists and 6 goals in 19 matches played in all competitions. With the German national team, he also quickly established himself in Julian Nagelsmann’s eleven.
Florian Wirtz does not plan to leave next summer
But while he was set to be the big attraction of the next summer transfer window, just after Euro 2024 which will take place on his soil, Sky Sports Germany informs us this Tuesday that a departure from Bayer Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz would only be possible in 2025. Currently under contract until 2027 with his training club, he does not intend to leave at the end of the season and would like to continue to become the leader of the training led by Xabi Alonso.
Information confirmed by the father of the 20-year-old right-hander. “For the moment, everything is done so that Florian continues to play at Leverkusen next season”he explained on Sky Sports. It remains to be seen whether this is a real decision or a trick to increase its market value. For the moment, it is estimated at 100 million euros by the CIES football observatory and it could still explode if he continues his momentum and if he proves decisive with the Mannschaft, during the Euro this summer .
