As can be seen from the current issue of ‘Sport Bild’, Leverkusen is aiming for a further contract extension rather than a sale. Wirtz will be the first player in the club’s history to receive an annual salary of more than ten million euros.

But one thing is also clear: Europe’s elite clubs are following Wirtz’s fantastic season (24 games, 20 points scorer) very closely. The DFB international is particularly popular at FC Bayern. For a transfer in 2024 or 2025, ‘Sport Bild’ is now offering a transfer fee of up to 150 million euros. That would be a new Bundesliga record.

Media: “Wirtz won’t change”
It currently looks like Wirtz will also play for Bayer next season and in the Champions League for the first time with the Rhinelanders. Among other things, the whereabouts of the trainer are crucial for this. The ‘Sport Bild’ writes: “Since Alonso is also very likely to stay beyond the summer following Real coach Carlo Ancelotti’s two-year extension, Wirtz will not be moving either.”
