Florian Wirtz came to Leverkusen at a young age when he moved here from Cologne. He made his first starts in the jersey of the reigning Bundesliga champions in the 2019/20 season.
From the very next season onwards, he became a fixture in the squad and as a young talent in German football, he regularly featured in the starting line-up.
Wirtz has so far appeared in 159 competitive matches for Leverkusen, scoring 47 goals and adding 51 assists as an offensive midfielder. Individually, his best season was last season, when he scored 11 goals in 32 league games.
But besides the bare stats and numbers, it is of course also about his performance on the field. It is not only Xabi Alonso who appreciates this, but the club’s management is also aware of Wirtz’s strength in this context.
It’s no secret that the Pulheim native is on the radar of Europe’s top clubs. However, according to German media, Leverkusen have told all potential suitors that they are demanding a hefty sum of money for their starlet.
Wirtz on the radar of the big clubs
Wirtz is now under contract with Bayer until the end of May 2024. Bayern Munich have shown huge interest in him in the past and are ready to bring in a real Bundesliga star.
But in addition to that, Real Madrid were also interested in Wirtz and Barcelona have also shown interest. It remains to be seen whether the young German talent will stay at Leverkusen or, on the contrary, leave in the upcoming transfer window. If he were to pay the 150 million euros, he would become the third most expensive player in football history.
