This figure is considered too high compared to the current football average, but it also shows that Leverkusen highly appreciates this player’s talent. According to German journalist Christian Falk, Wirtz expressed his desire to leave to seek new challenges.

This has attracted the attention of a number of European giants, including Real Madrid, Manchester City and Liverpool. All three clubs are looking for young talent to add to their squad and are willing to pay a large sum to get Wirtz’s signature.

There are many reasons to explain Leverkusen’s “sky-high” price. Firstly, Wirtz is considered one of the brightest young talents in German football. His technique, vision and scoring ability have made many big teams admire.

Secondly, Wirtz is playing a very important role in Leverkusen’s squad. Losing such a talented player would be a big loss for the team. Finally, Leverkusen wants to take advantage of this opportunity to earn a large sum of money to invest in rebuilding the squad.

In the 2024/25 season, Wirtz scored 4 goals and had 1 assist in all competitions. Previously, in the 2022/23 season, the 21-year-old German talent scored 18 goals and had 20 assists in all competitions.
