Liverpool are not believed to be in the running for Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz as some of Europe’s biggest clubs continue to monitor the Bundesliga sensation ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window.
Wirtz has become one of Germany’s most exciting talents since making his Bayer Leverkusen debut in 2020, making 169 appearances for the Bundesliga champions while producing an incredible 48 goals and 52 assists.
The 21-year-old was at the heart of Leverkusen’s incredible 2023/24 campaign in which Xabi Alonso’s men won the league and cup double in Germany without losing a single game.
The midfielder produced 18 goals and 20 assists in 49 games, figures that have attracted almost every big club in Europe.
according to Sky Sport GermanyWirtz is Bayern Munich’s top target next summer as the German giants are said to be willing to spend in excess of €100m on the Leverkusen midfielder. The outlet reports that Real Madrid and Man City will be their main competitors for the 21-year-old, and so far there has been no indication from the player of what he wants to do with his future.
Bayern over the years have liked to keep the best German talent in the country and will most likely make Wirtz an attractive offer.
Signing Bayer Leverkusen’s talent would be huge for the Bundesliga leaders, but Real Madrid and Man City are tough competition they face, with the The La Liga champions are said to be working on the deal behind the scenes.
Liverpool are not in the running for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz
One club not mentioned in the Sky Germany report is Liverpool, who are bound to Wirtz during the summer months.
According to the Liverpool Echoreports in Germany said that Real Madrid and Liverpool were two teams showing an interest in the 21-year-old ahead of the current season, although the Reds’ interest was said not to be serious.
That seems to be the case at the moment, as the Merseyside club don’t seem to be in the running for Bundesliga talent.
Should Wirtz leave Bayer Leverkusen in 2025, Bayern Munich should be considered favorites for his signature, with the Bundesliga giants getting a generational talent that could lead them to further glory for years to come.
