Florian Wirtz is back. But Leverkusen also fails with the Star in the fight for the championship. There is also speculation about his future.
Those responsible at Bayer Leverkusen assume that both Florian Wirtz and coach Xabi Alonso will be preserved to the club beyond the season. Before the Bundesliga duel against Union Berlin, managing director Fernando Carro expressed himself confidently about the personal details at “Sky”.
With a view to national player Wirtz, Carro emphasized that so far there had been no contact with Bayern Munich. There is a “very high probability” that the 21-year-old will also play at Bayer in the coming season. “He has a contract,” said Carro, referring to the working paper of the offensive player until 2027.
Financially, you also see no need to react to offers. “It may also be that a club comes where the Flo does not want to go,” added Carro. Wirtz was back in the squad against Union for the first time after a five -week injury break. Again and again the midfielder was associated with Bayern Munich.
CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen only confirmed on Saturday that there was enough money for new obligations from the format of Florian Wirtz. “It’s enough. And for whom it always likes it,” said the 57-year-old.
He reacted to Uli Hoeneß’s statements. In an interview with the “Welt am Sonntag”, the Bavaria Honorary Chairman explained: “There isn’t much from our time deposit account.” For a Wirtz transfer, the club needs “a special fund like the federal government”.
Dreesen now contradicted this. “I have to tell you that we are still able to act. This is the main message,” he said in the “Sky” interview. In his opinion, Hoeneß ‘motivation was for the statements that he was concerned about the rock solidity due to sprawling salaries. “The fact that we lose our iron maxim, maximum sporting success with economic solidity. You have to see it. These are the warning words,” said Dreesen.
So much for Wirtz. For Leverkusen, it is about another personnel: coach Xabi Alonso, who is repeatedly associated with Real Madrid. Carro said: “He still has a contract with us, he feels comfortable here. First of all, we go out of it and we are planning the next season with him, preparation, games, squad …”
At the same time, he was not very pleased with the 0: 3 of Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final first leg at FC Arsenal. “I would have been happy if Madrid had won the house and the coaching position at Madrid was fixed. It is normal in football that if a team like Real Madrid loses 3-0 against Arsenal in the quarter-finals, then the rumor mill would be up. I would rather have saved myself,” said Carro.
Wirtz and Alonso-two personal details that will continue to employ Leverkusens and also football Europe.
