It is still not clear whether the national player stays with Bayer Leverkusen beyond the season. Now the 21-year-old has taken a stand-and is cryptic.
Bayer Leverkusens Florian Wirtz is left out of the top game of the Bundesliga against FC Bayern Munich with a view of his personal future. In the interview on the club’s own website, the courted international was asked whether he could imagine extending his contract with the German champion prematurely.
“At some point you will read something and then you know,” replied the 21-year-old. “So, I’m just playing football and that’s why I am not going to get rid of it at all.” At Leverkusen, Wirtz currently has a contract until summer 2027. Its market value is well over 100 million euros.
Most recently, Bavaria’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß had expressed hope of a obligation by Wirtz in an interview with T-Online, but only considered the opportunities to be low. Leverkusen welcomes the Munich team on Saturday (6.30 p.m./Sky) and wants to shorten the gap of eight points to the leader.
When asked whether he is likely that Bayern could sign a player like Wirtz, Munich’s sports director Max Eberl told the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”: “The club has, see Harry Kane, demonstrated that it has made very large transfers But it will not be possible. to bring to Munich. “
The German record champion had hired Kane in the summer of 2023 in a 100 million euro transfer from Tottenham Hotspur.
