Former national coach Joachim Löw does not yet advise top player Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen to a transfer. “He is well advised to change only after the 2026 World Cup,” Löw told the broadcaster “Welt TV”. The familiar environment is extremely important for the young player. “He also plays when he has a weak phase and he would have the game guarantee,” explained the 65-year-old. At the World Cup he can explode – as may also be his market value, which is currently one of the ten highest worldwide.
The Wirtz, which is currently pausing with an ankle injury, has a contract in Leverkusen until 2027. F recently, FC Bayern repeatedly advanced the 21-year-old. Great interest in Wirtz also confirms national team sports director Rudi Völler, who has worked in Leverkusen for many years. “Of course he has a lot of inquiries, I can reveal that. But that’s not a sensation, ”he said.
The former international also believes that Wirtz is in good hands with Bayer. “Basically, I would advise him to stay with it first. He also feels comfortable, ”said Völler. “Those responsible also know that the time he leaves Leverkusen. Everyone hopes that it happens later than before. “
