Florian Wirtz has made his decision. The German national football player wants to leave Bayer Leverkusen in the summer. For a long time, it looked like a transfer within the league, with Bayern Munich negotiating with Wirtz's parents. But now the deal has been called off. This was confirmed by President Herbert Hainer on Saturday afternoon to the 'Abendzeitung'.

The 22-year-old Wirtz has been repeatedly linked with various top clubs, but he is now likely to take his next career step with the Reds. Wirtz joined Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 and developed into a world-class player there. In 2023/24, he won the double with Leverkusen.

According to several media reports, Liverpool coach Arne Slot was particularly decisive in the decision. The Dutchman was able to convince Wirtz in a personal conversation.
