Author of a huge season with Leverkusen, who has just won their first German championship title, Florian Wirtz, 20, is turning the heads of the big European teams. But to secure the services of the great German hope from next summer (he is linked to his club until 2027), you will have to take out a big checkbook.
Fernando Carro, sporting director of Bayer, has not completely closed the door to a summer departure… provided that a very significant number of zeros are aligned. “No one is unsaleable, but for less than 150 million (euros), it is not relevant that Wirtz leaves,” the Spaniard said on Radio Marca.

😱😱 THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!!

🖐️ 5-0 for Xabi Alonso’s men!!#B04SVW https://t.co/qqI7wdGFKq— beIN SPORTS (@beinsports_FR) April 14, 2024
A few days earlier, Carro had explained to As that Wirtz would still be in North Rhine-Westphalia next season. “Many teams (Real Madrid, FC Barcelona or Liverpool) are interested,” he admitted. Because of the relationship with his parents, his idea is to stay with us. In football, you can’t plan for more than a year… But next season, he will still be at Leverkusen. »
The president of the club himself assured a few days ago that he was counting on him to build Bayer’s future successes.
In recent months, the attacking midfielder has been the cornerstone of coach Xabi Alonso’s system, with eleven goals and ten assists in 29 Bundesliga matches. It was he who definitively gave his teammates the national title last week by scoring a hat-trick in 25 minutes against Werder Bremen (5-0).
The Germans, still undefeated this season after 44 matches in all competitions this season (38 wins, six draws), can still achieve a sumptuous treble. Leverkusen is in fact qualified for the final of the German Cup at the end of May against Kaiserslautern and will play in the semi-finals of the Europa League against Roma.
